Subject: PPP Dial-in Server
Hi,
I am trying to set up one of my machines (SuSE 6.4) as a dial-in server. I
have followed the example in O'Reilly's "Linux Network Administrators Guide"
and various How-to's I have found on the web.
I have got to the point where my 'windows' clients can dial in, the
username/password is checked and accepted, and the 'tray icon' appears in
the Windows task bar, but then the clients get disconnected and the Linux
box tells me
mgetty FATAL: yS0 cannot get TI0
Looking in /var/log/mgetty.ttyS0 gives me...
12/11 11:04:32 yS0 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.19-Nov24
12/11 11:04:32 yS0 WARNING: DSR is off - modem turned off or bad cable?
12/11 11:04:33 yS0 TIOCMBIS failed: Input/output error
12/11 11:04:33 yS0 cannot turn off soft carrier: Input/output error

12/11 11:04:33 yS0 cannot get TIO: Input/output error
12/11 11:04:33 yS0 mg_init_device failed, trying again

conn='33600/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/'
<p>It looks like it is to do with the modem set-up (It is a good, working one),
but other than that I am stuck.
Many thanks
Phil
