Hello everyone. I'm sorry to post this again, but I'm having new problem now.
I made some changes to those files I sent before and now when I type pppd at the command prompt I get some garbage text on my screen, and after a little while(30 seconds or so) I get the prompt back. I tailed d my /var/log/messages file and it reads as follows: pppd started by root..... using interface ppp0 connect : ppp0 <---> /dev/tty1 Lcp: time out sending config-Request Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0 Exit Any suggestions? I tried minicom -h but minicom is not in my system. I only have the base system installed. It's Debian 2.1 (Slink). I also tried wvdial. Not installed either. I'm eager to get Debian going. Please help. Thanks a million in advance. The files I have are as follows: /etc/chatscripts/provider: ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT VOICE ABORT "NO ANSWER" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" "" ATZ OK ATDT*70,8071800 # i verifyed the phone number CONNECT '' ername> \dbella # I verified this with my ISP ssword: \qmypassword # I put my real password instead of mypassword /etc/ppp/peers/provider noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider" /dev/ttyS2 # my modem is in com3.
