Hi all I have a new problem on a Suse 7.1 system I am setting up for my nephew. This one is related to connecting to their ISP. On using Wvdial to connect to the ISP, the modem connects but disconnects straight away with the following error. Feb 18 22:17:12 linux pppd[1534]: Plugin /usr/lib/passwordfd.so loaded. Feb 18 22:17:12 linux pppd[1534]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0 Feb 18 22:17:12 linux pppd[1534]: Perms of /dev/ttyS1 are ok, no 'mesg n' neccesary. Feb 18 22:17:21 linux pppd[1534]: Terminating on signal 15. Feb 18 22:17:21 linux pppd[1534]: Exit. Feb 18 22:24:44 linux pppd[2339]: Plugin /usr/lib/passwordfd.so loaded. Feb 18 22:24:44 linux pppd[2339]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0 Feb 18 22:24:44 linux pppd[2339]: Perms of /dev/ttyS1 are ok, no 'mesg n' neccesary. Feb 18 22:24:59 linux pppd[2339]: Terminating on signal 15. Feb 18 22:24:59 linux pppd[2339]: Exit. If I run from a terminal, kppp to connect, I get lines of this following error. Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device. Then if I put a 2 second pause on kppp, I get the welcome notes from the ISP but still no connect. I have tried 3 separate Rockwell based external modems, two separate phone lines, removing & reinstalling both wvdial & pppd rpms, configuring the dial-up through both yast & yast2 & last but not least, deleting the config files & starting from scratch. I myself use the same ISP with my SuSe 7.1 system, with all the same settings (including phone number), & have never had a single problem in connecting. The system is as follows, Acer MX34 mainboard with Celeron 800 cpu 320mb SDRAM 20GB hdd (all Suse) The system is NOT networked or has any network card installed, only the modem for the Internet. I have tried the following external modems: 33 Kbps Rockwell Based 33Kbps Tasmanian Devil 56Kbps KTX (Rockwell based) The KTX has been used on Suse 7.1 before with no errors & all 3 modems connect perfectly through windows. Can anyone help with this one?
