1. I've already RTFM!
2. My simple goal.
3. Excerpts from the necessary PPP files.
1. My situation:
Greetings!
First: I have already read the Handbook, "The Pedantic PPP Primer", the
various FAQs; I have also asked this question on the list before, and
have tried each suggestion. (There were four or five responses, all saying
different things.) Overall, I think I have tried every combination of
these things, but still cannot get a working connection to my provider.
2. All I need to do is:
Dial my provider (modem, not TCP/IP),
Send a <CR> to start the conversation,
Wait for "name>" and send "jroberts"<CR>,
Wait for "word>" and send (my password)<CR>,
Wait for "eys:" and send "3"<CR>,
(Normally, the juice should start flowing after that last <CR>.)
3. My setup (which doesn't work):
Sorry to send all of this stuff, but every person who responded the last
time asked for this information! These files are set to the description
given in the Handbook (*Setting Up User PPP*, or whatever). I have no
network card, and no assigned IP address. After connecting with ppp I
get something like
CONNECT OKAY!
(pause)
LOGIN OKAY!
Then I hear the modem hangup, and *show log* returns the termination
messages.
What am I doing wrong?
