I configured my modem and PPP through YaST and wvdial.conf in Suse 7.3 on my Powerbook Firewire. What I haven't been able to solve so far is an authentication dialog failure between the modem and the provider (my university). University modem pool support could only confirm my settings but otherwise does not support Linux. Thus, maybe somebody here would have an idea what I am still missing to get the modem running.
I tried to take over the settings from my MacOS partition for which the modem is connecting fine. Those are: Remote Access: registered user, username, password, phone number Options: redial off, allow error correction and compression in modem, use TCP header compression Modem: 56k, sound on, dialing tone, do not ignore dialing tone TCP/IP: Connect via PPP, Configure: using PPP server (there is a nameserver IP, but university support said that that is bogus)
In linux the provider part in wvdial.conf looks like this: [Dialer UofC] Ask Password = 0 Auto DNS = 1 Auto Reconnect = 0 DNS1 = DNS2 = Demand = no Idle Seconds = 180 Inherits = Dialer modem0 Password = [password] Phone = [number] Provider = UofCModem Username =[username] YaST2 Record = provider
Do you have "Stupid Mode = 1" in your wvdial.conf? I think that was missing in 7.3 and may help.
I am connecting using Kinternet and the log gives me the following messages: ... Entering PPP mode Async interface address is unnumbered (Loop back 1) Your IP address [number]. MTU is 1500 bytes Header compression will match your system. -> Looks like a welcome message -> Starting pppd at [date] -> pid of pppd: 7356 -> PPP was killed (signal 11) -> Disconnecting We are disconnected. -> PPP daemon has died. Peer didn't authenticate itself (exit code 11).
Any ideas? Thanks!
