Try putting a 1 in front of your phone number. Or double check to make sure this is the right number, ppp isn't your problem the phone company is. On Sat, Jun 02, 2001 at 09:57:55PM -0400, David C. Johanson wrote:

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 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?

Well, I tried removing the perods in the phone number but YAST insists on putting them back in. After deciding that I wasn't going to be able to beat YAST, I tried ussign kppp and was up and running in about 15 minutes. Thanks to all for the suggestions. dave
