I've been trying off and on to get PPP working under SuSE as well as RedHat for about 3 months (off and on) now. I have a US Robotics (3Com) Courier V.Everything internal modem with jumpers. It is not a Winmodem and PNP was disabled. It was jumpered for Com2, IRQ3 and port 2f8. Under minicom I could dial ibm.net and get a clean connection but after 30 seconds I would get garbage on the screen. If I started pppd it would start but after about a minute it would die. Sometimes minicom would just disconnect and end with a message "Killed with a Signal 11". On another computer, my laptop, I could dial in with minicom and get an id password prompt with the same configuration. Eventually I dropped the speed of the modem down to 19200 and I could connect fine. I setup my ppp using kpp and finally I was on the net. As soon as I would bump the speed up I would get kill messages at 57600 and garbage at 115200. After much playing around I changed the symbolic link to reflect cua1 instead of /dev/modem and like magic I could set my port speed to 115,200 and everything worked ! On bootup the modem is assigned to /dev/ttyS1 and I didn't have any irq conflicts (ie:commands worked fine, even at 115200). Anybody have any ideas? BTW I found SuSEppp very confusing, kpp was much better.
