I've been away from ppp connections for a while, using DSL. Now back
to a ppp connection for a while. I've configured many PPP connections
in the past but now having a different sort of problem.
First, how to get some serious debug info?
I've set `debug' and added a line to syslog.conf for tempory use:
*.debug;mail.none;news.none /var/log/debug
Which collects all the debug info... `tailing' that output it still
seems <expletive deleted> scant. Man pages don't indicate anyway to
adjust the level of debug output. Maybe it can be done by editing the
chat script?
I'll supply syslog output below, but want to describe what I `hear'.
First a fairly lenthy pause between calling `ifup ppp0' and hearing a
number dialed... Probably somethng like 10-15 seconds. In the past
this has been much quicker.
Syslog output prints the number being called long before I hear dialing.
Unusual squeals and squawking like noises when the number is dialed
and the remote machine answers, seems to stutter a bit, make the
normal machine to machine data transfer noises then squeals and
squawks in a way I'm not accustomed to hearing. The connection
sometives gets established for a few moments but quits during
authentication steps.
Now all this might be just a simple password user-ID issue, except
that I can run my laptop on that same line. Laptop is running
FreeBSD-4.0 which uses a program called user-ppp. I'm passing the
same phone-number, userid and passwd in either case. But when dialing
up with the laptop, I hear the normal sounds and solid connection results.
As you'll see the debug output has plenty of nearly useless info
concering the packets exchanged but litte diagnostic stuff that is
user usable.
