[SuSE Linux] Setting Dial-Up Connection-Speed Bump
[SuSE Linux] Setting Dial-Up Connection-Speed Bump Setting the connection speed to 56000 in kppp may not be enough to let all the parties involved to connect at 56k. I suspect I must enter 56k in other configuration files. Is this true? If so which are they? I also suspect I have a glitch in my connection set up, in that I often have to call five times to acieve a connect...only to have pppd die. Yet eventually I get a good connection....which always seems to be 2800! Somewhere I got wind of some notion that Linux is "trying" to make the connection too many times in too little time, and so it fails. The correction would be to ask Linux to try less frenetically, and thus achieve a grip! I must say, that using the same line my Mac and Virtual PC Windows systems are able to make internet dial-up connect the the first time, every time, and at speeds between 46666 and 48000 bps consistantly. Thank you I am running S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 on a Gateway 2500 "SOLO" laptop with a pcmcia modem, (NOT a Winmodem).

Yet eventually I get a good connection....which always seems to be 2800! I have got rid of kppp in favour of xisp for the very reasons you have stated. I get a connect _every_ time now. Check your /etc/ rc.config file and make sure that the modem speed is shoown in it correctly, use yast to set it, the entry is near the bottom of the file.
