I finally found the probelm. My ISP is sort of weired. It expects a string "set port ppp enable" instead of just "ppp" upon login. I modified the wvdial.conf (which is used by WvDial) file, and now I have the pppd working fine for me. However, all these were done with the debug function in RP3. When I start RP3, the modem just does not dial! Only those LEDs flash. I tried minicom and debug funcion in RP3, it seems nothing wrong with the modem settings and AT commands. Is it possible that my RP3 package is not installed correctly? Any other hints? Thanks. David John wrote: > > I'm trying to make the PPP connection via modem under RH 6.1.
