*** Well, I re-checked the HOWTO but it didn't say much more than it
did the last time. Like most of the time it goes into very technical
mambo-jambo and along the way it forgets to talk in simple English.
Bits in relatively simple English from the HOWTO :
##############################
"When pppd starts up, it sends LCP (link control protocol) packets to the
remote machine. If it receives a valid response it then
goes on to the next stage (using IPCP - IP control protocol packets) and
only when this negotiation completes is the actual IP
layer started so that you can use the PPP link
If there is no ppp server operating at the remote end when your PC sends
lcp packets, these get reflected by the login process at
the far end. As these packets use 8 bits, reflecting them strips the 8th
bit (remember, ASCII is a 7 bit code). PPP sees this and
complains accordingly.
You are not correctly logging into the server
When your chat script completes, pppd starts on your PC. However, if you
have not completed the log in process to the server
(including sending any command required to start PPP on the server), PPP
will not start."
###########################
Basically what it says is that my script fu...'s up somewhere during the
login process. Since only the number changed and not the login process (I
already have been using pap with the old phone number, my login is the
same, my password is the same...) I don't know what to think of it. What I
change in the script is only the phone number. And systematically I get
the "not 8 bit clean" thingy.
Another try?
Cheers!
