[SuSE Linux] Comms problems
Hi all, I finally solved my comms problem with SuSE Linux - by changing my modem! I previously establish a connection but was not getting any data throughput from the serial device so I never got to a login prompt. Changing from the Us Robotics Sportster 56kbps to my old trusty Reveal 28.8kbps solved the problem. I can now use minicom. Also wvdial works a treat. So what's going on here? Does SuSE not support the world's number one modem? On another note, I can't get ezppp to work for one reason: when the connection is answered you need to send a cr to get a login prompt from the host. Ezppp (unlike wvdial) does not appear to send one automatically. How do I set this up in the script. I have tried 'Send \n' but that doesen't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, I've been using ezppp with great success for almost 2 years. My default pppd arguments are: -detach defaultroute lock modem noipdefault user ms123456 remotename mindspring.com also make sure your /etc/ppp/options file exists but is empty. This all assumes you use PAP, which is almost everyone. Also make sure the names in pap-secrets match those in the pppd arguments. For instance, my pap-secrets file looks like this: # client server secret IP address ms123456 mindspring.com $%#@!#^ Under server, make sure the entry matches the pppd argument. Under IP make sure everything is checked dynamic. Those are all the hints I can think of. zentara zentara - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Yer doing it the "hard way." Forget the script, and use PAP. Fred -- - Windows 98 supports real multitasking - it can boot and crash simultaneously - Fred A.

Sorry about this....I read it too fast, and had just helped someone with KPPP, and I read "Ezppp" as KPPP. 'Eyes and brain not working together well.
