I have a 3Com external ISDN modem, which I've been using with SuSE since before version 5.0. I always use wvdial with the setup command "AT S80=1" to configure the modem for multilink. A standard "ATDT xxx-xxxx" command links both channels into a single connection. Up through v6.4, multilink dialing has always worked right out of the box. With v7.0 and v7.1, however, only the first line ever connects. I know the problem is not wvdial, because the same thing happens if I use minicom and dial the ISDN modem manually. Anybody have any idea on what's happening? I really need to move up to the latest version of SuSE, but not if I can't use the web at full speed. Respond directly or to the mailing list, I always check both. Thanks, Sam

Check your serial port speed. With my Motorola BitSurfr, it will only connect the channels it needs to support the serial link speed, so if your serial link is set for 64k or below, you'll never get the second channel. With the older releases, there was a kludge in that you had to specify 38.4k, as well as a 'special' parameter like spd_vhigh in order to get higher speeds. More recently, higher speeds may be directly requested by setserial. Check the manpages, since I'm fuzzy on the details of the change... -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"
