Donald, Thanks for the interest. The details that you ask for are below: > >What the hell. I've got some time to kill, and I have played around with >iij-ppp enough so that I am willing to give yorur problem a shot. >Unfortunately, I got in a little late on the thread, and so don't know: > >a) what exactly is the problem; When I run iij-ppp, and use the 'term' or 'dial' commands, no characters are sent to the modem (RD/SD lights do not flash). I can use 'tip' and 'cu' on the same device (/dev/cuaa1) without any problems. One scenario: I used "cu -p port4" where port4 is setup as a direct connect to the modem. I typed 'AT' and 'ATZ' and got back 'OK' in both cases. I then exitted cu, and confirmed that the lock file had been removed. I then tried 'ppp myisp' and 'show modem' to confirm that everything was setup to talk to the correct device (/dev/cuaa1) and the modem. (BTW, outq showed 0 at this point). I then typed 'term' and typed 'AT' and ATZ' with no response. After typing '~.' to return to the ppp prompt, I typed 'show modem' again. Outq showed '7' now, which implies (to me) that no characters were sent out the device port. It seems that nothing is getting to the modem... Another scenario: If I try to use iijppp and the 'term' command, iijppp does not communicate with the modem (no lights flash on the modem, and no characters are echoed). Quite often, but not always, the characters that I type after the term command, e.g. 'at', are buffered and are read by the shell once kill the ppp process. If I try to use iijppp and the 'dial myisp' command, iijppp responds with 'dial failed.', presumably because the modem is not responding. Of course, the modem is not responding because it never receives any characters... >b) I don't have copiesof your configuration files (which would help...) Here is my /etc/ppp/conf file.

Pentium 75 mhz, Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI controller, Fujitsu 1.0 GB drive, Sony SCSI CDROM, 3Com 590 PCI NIC GVC (Hayes Compatible) external modem on COM2 (it is an old 1200 baud, I am getting a new Hayes 28.8kb on Tuesday). The modem does work fine with tip and cu. Thanks -- Stephen ______________________________ Stephen Couchman | scouch@io.org
