I now have SuSE 7.1 up and running well but am having difficulty getting ppp to work.
Here is the setup - it may be in error
My local ISP is erols they provide a dynamic connection, thus no fixed IP address under windows I use - Server name = pop.erols.com type = pop3 server name = dcjohan password outgoing mail = smtp.erols.com outgoing mail name = dcjohan@erols.com
I'm trying to setup using the yast2 wizard
ISP page:
Name for dialing: Erols Connection name: pop.erols.com Phone number: 301.917.8111
This is your problem. Remove the dots from the phone number. The phone number should really just be a string of numbers (even if you put dots or spaces within the number when you write it down for someone). The number you enter is put straight into the configuration file for wvdial as-is. Remove the dots and see what happens (you can actually have spaces and brackets within the ATD command, but I believe that '.' is special, as is ',' and ';').
user name: dcjohan password: correctly installed
Connection parameters page:
Profile for server provider:pop.erols.com Default modem: Sporster
Network Modem ...page:
hardware page .. type (modem) Device (/dev/ttyS1) name (Sporster)
--------------
When I double click the connection icon at the bottom right of the desktop here is the output:
--> WvDial: Internet Dialer Version 1.4.1 --> Initializing modem --> Sending: ATZ O.K. --> Sending: AT Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 + FCLASS=0 AT Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 + FCLASS=0 O.K. --> Modem initialized --> Dialing pop.erols.com --> Sending ATDT 301.917.8111 --> Waiting for carrier (3 short beeps like do tu do, followed by c 10 seconds then a normal ring or 2, no more followed by the words in the speaker "I'm sorry, your call did not go through")
Then I get either a) Busy, Try calling again and a call reattempt, or b) --> disconnecting at date/time Caught Signal 15! Attempting to disconnect gracefully.
What obvious thing am I missing?
