More info required :-)
What type, log info or hardware info?
Good question :-)
Which directory can I find the necessary log info?
Most would be in file /var/log/messages, but also in /var/log/localmessages
What shows there after "debug" enabled? After adding debug into the relevant file, if I click on Details to see why the connection failed the error report comes back and says it can't help me here.
No. Edit file /etc/ppp/options. You will find this text: # Increase debugging level (same as -d). The debug output is written # to syslog LOG_LOCAL2. #debug remove the comment mark (#) before the word 'debug'.
Enough info?
Not yet, because the reason for not connecting is not seen.
Is there perhaps a separate modem log file to /messages that might tell us more?
The detailed info is missing; I hope to find the reason for disconnect there. The syslog log files are all in '/var/log/', and what goes where is configured in '/etc/syslog.conf'. There is a line there: *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages That means that almost everything (except mail and news logs) go to file '/var/log/messages' -- at least, that is the default configuration for SuSE 8.2. pppd messages use facility local2, which is included above; but also by this rules: local0,local1.* -/var/log/localmessages local2,local3.* -/var/log/localmessages local4,local5.* -/var/log/localmessages local6,local7.* -/var/log/localmessages they go to file '/var/log/localmessages'. In my system, they only go there. For more info on the above, read 'man syslog.conf -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
