Ever since I installed a new NIC card, I've been unable to dial out using my modem. I have a script that I run in order to get a ppp session going with my ISP. The script seems to run fine since it exits with no errors except that I don't get any happy modem noises. I ran a tail on /var/log/messages and came across this: Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc. Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: PPP line discipline registered. Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: registered device ppp0 Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat syslog: IPX support is not present in the kernel Dec 22 17:38:32 billthecat pppd+AFs-3340+AF0-: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Dec 22 17:38:32 billthecat pppd+AFs-3340+AF0-: tcgetattr: I/O error Dec 22 17:38:32 billthecat pppd+AFs-3340+AF0-: Exit. Looking back through old logs the IPX not supported error was present even when I successfully made a connection, so I know that's not it. Obviously, it is the tcgetattr I/O error but I don't now where to begin troubleshooting this. I assume the system is unable to retrieve any information from the modem but I don't know what it's looking for or where to start fixing it. Does anyone have any ideas? All replies would be appreciated.
