Hello,

I have been using SuSE 9.0 very successfully until suddenly when I dial = with kppp the log returns:- ATZ error After this the dialer hangs. If I use Kinternet the log states Z error After this it tries 3 times and hangs.

I am writing this with the dreaded Win XP, which proves the modem and = connection is still functioning.

Any ideas = please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!= !!!!!!!!!!!!

Try changing your modem-init string to 'AT&F1'

(It will be in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ppp0)

This is based on the guess that something is wrong with your stored ATZ configuration.

Hope this helps.

It occurred to me after posting this that that might have been an "America-centric" answer, and if the AT&F1 settings on modems sold overseas are the same as those sold in the U.S., then you may have to go to some additional lengths in order to get the correct settings for the .uk phone system. A quick and dirty approach would be to issue an AT&W0 to the modem after Win XP sets it up properly.
