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???

The sending of a CR (carriage return) or LF (line feed) is a function of the modem (and the computer's software communicating with it) and is (normally) controlled by the S3 and S4 Registers. But I don't think this should be worrying you UNLESS what is below is not being done in SuSE. The only one which could be a worry is that one must always use RTS/CTS flow control -- also know as Hardware flow control -- and not use XON/XOFF flow control (the old Xmodem protocol related thing). See the explanations for these in your modem manual. But whether you read the manual or not, do NOT use XON/XOFF for data flow control :-). Cheers. -- Hire teenagers while they still know everything.
