Edit your /etc/suseppp/generic.options dialing string a bit. It seems that the 3Com Impact IQ external doesn't quite know it's supposed to be in PPP mode and the documentation is QUITE a bit lacking. Perhaps SuSE could put it into the SDB? For the dialing line: ATDT change to: ATS71=1DT<isp phone number>. THAT will put you into PPP mode. Setting S80 will give you either 1B or 2B. Setting S80=0 gives you 1B mode, S80=1 gives 2B mode. I swap my options files depending on need (I usually use 1B mode since it's a bit cheaper...) by renaming the files, but could do some fancier stuff if I felt lazy enough to script it... :) Oh, don't bother compiling in I4L modules as the external TA is treated as a modem. I don't have the ISDN modules in at all and things work nicely. Though I *REALLY* have got to get a 16650 card for the TA, 115200 is a bit slow for ISDN... These are my generic.chat files that work nicely with my 3Com ImpactIQ external TA attached.
I too am having a problem with getting a ppp connection up. As to your problem, check the help file that comes with the kppp app. There should be help button right on the interface which will bring up HTML. There's a section that describes what might be wrong when this message pops up.
My problem, I fear, is more complex. I have version 5.3 and am using kppp to try to get the connection up. Without posting all my /etc files, I'll briefly explain the dilema.
The modem is a 3Com Impact IQ ISDN terminal adapter connected on ttyS1. The modem init string and dial commands are all correct. I get a connect and the ppp interface is started. But after that, I can only ping the remote address and none beyond that. ifconfig states that ppp0 is active and route states that ppp0 is the default route. The normal network configs floating around do not work with my system because the machine is also connected to an ethernet.
Please HELP! This is the only thing keeping me from switching from NT as my full-time OS (something I wish to do VERY much).
