Hi, I'm trying to set up a SuSE 8.0 machine as an ISDN dial-in server. The (few) documents I found seem to indicate that a working dial-out setup is necessary for this, so I tried to configure one. I installed SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional on a Pentium III computer with a Winbond compatible ISDN card. The card is recognized and testing with minicom indicates that it's working. I configured a local provider we have in-house, running in a Cisco 3640. However, when I try to use kinternet to connect to it, it doesn't work. When I choose "Dial in" in the menu , nothing happens. The kinternet log says: ------- SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd), Version 0.73 on rabanada. wwwoffle not is running Selection of interface/provider "ippp0"/"pop-mg" succeeded. Starting connection. (2003-05-26 07:24:26 BRT) ------- Messages in /var/log/messages, /var/log/localmessages and /var/log/isdn.log appear normal. Running the command suggested in Yast2 for manual dial gives me the following: rabanada:/etc/isdn # isdnctrl dial ippp0 ippp0: No such device Running ipppd by hand tells me: rabanada:/etc/isdn # ipppd Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support. Check whether you configured at least the ippp0 device! I don't have any experience with Linux (I have Solaris administration background) so I don't have any idea on what and where to check what's going on. The ISDN documentation I found on the Net is mainly in German, and I seem to miss some common knowledge in Linux to follow the ISDN4Linux faq. I'd appreciate any pointers to documents or any help on how to debug this. Thank you, Laszlo de Miranda Pinto -- laszlo@pop-mg.rnp.br I haven't lost my mind; I'm sure it's backed up on tape somewhere.
