I am attempting to get PPPD to work from my Debian Linux machine with a marked lack of success....
I have been firing up Minicom to dial and log on, then CTRL-AQ to drop out of Minicom without reseting the modem (as described in the PPP- HOWTO) and then entering a command thus: pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS0 38400 & again from the PPP-HOWTO. The additional commands are defined in the PPP options file. This is the data I get from the log: Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0 Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 552> <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xd7a90045> <pcomp> <accomp>] Nov 25 16:12:43 server last message repeated 6 times Nov 25 16:12:44 server pppd[140]: Modem hangup Nov 25 16:12:44 server pppd[140]: Connection terminated. Nov 25 16:12:44 server pppd[140]: Exit. There is a little modem activity and then the modem drops..... The link (same modem, same ISP) works fine under Win95 & WinNTWS. I have also now managed to set up a dial-up script with the same result. I have checked with my ISP and they are not using PAP or CHAP. Any ideas? I have also added the noipdefault parameter as well.
