Carlos, et al, I just noticed something in my old windoze logs!!! It shows <cr> & <lf> when sending and receiving, sometimes the one, sometimes the other, sometimes both!!! I do not 'see' this in any of my linux logs, even with debug on. I can't (don't know how to) set 'line termination' in Yast or WVDial. There is nothing in man wvdial.conf to set this up. There is also nothing in man pppd to set this in /etc/ppp/options. It may be set this way by default already, but I can't verify it. How can I set the 'line termination' in Yast or with WVDial? I am able to set it in KPPP, but... When I setup KPPP (no I haven't tried it before), I get inconsistent results. KPPP is sending obscure AT commands that 'I' did not enter in modem/modem commands/init string 0 or init string 1. Therefore I get errors reported back from my modem, or no response at all. I looked in kppprc, but couldn't find the incorrect AT commands there. I see no other place to change the config for kppp. I can't get kppp to use the AT commands I want to send the modem. So I can't try KPPP as an option, to see if it is 'line termination'. Any ideas??? Or am I barking up the wrong tree???
