[OLUG] yet more ppp

Tue Mar 7 15:32:59 UTC 2000

Ok heres what I did,I set my modem's jumpers to com 1/irq 5 (no irq
conflicts).On linux bootup it detected ttyS01/irq3 and ttyS02/irq 4 but
the weird part is the only way I can get't my modem to dial out unless I

link
it to ttyS02 and use minicom ....it won't dial out with kppp in X (I get

a modem not responding message) nor will it dial out from  the command
line with ifup ppp0 the commamd I used to use for it.(it just hangs till
I
^C it then I ge tthis message>Failed to activate ppp0 with error 8)
  I then did cat /proc/interrupts and could see irq 4 for a serial
port but no irq 5 for the modem,I'm not sure if thats  right shouldn't I

have seen the irq for my modem?
 I had to disable com 1 in my bios becauses because windows could
not detect my modem under com 1 only com 3 so I disabled it to avoid a
irq
conflict.
 Seeing that it would only dial out if linked to ttyS2 I switched
my jumpers to com 3/irq 5 but that made no  difference,it would still
only
dial out in minicom.
 I then checked /var/log/messages and got the following output:
Mar  7 14:42:06 jimbo ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/modem at
115200
Mar  7 14:42:06 jimbo modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108
Mar  7 14:42:06 jimbo pppd[1584]: pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
Mar  7 14:42:13 jimbo pppd[1584]: Terminating on signal 15.
Mar  7 14:42:13 jimbo chat[1594]: SIGTERM
Mar  7 14:42:13 jimbo pppd[1584]: Connect script failed
Mar  7 14:42:18 jimbo pppd[1584]: Exit.

 According to the pppd man page Terminating on signal 15=The link
was terminated because the peer is not responding to echo requests.
(scratching head)

 I've pasted the following files I configured to use with ppp.I've
tried editing the /etc/ppp/options file like you said Mike and I've had
no
luck yet :(

/etc/ppp/chat

ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "BUSY"

OK "at&d0&c1"
OK " ATDT8275000"

"word:" "xxxxxxx"

#
# Script to initiate a ppp connection. This is the first part of the
# pair of scripts. This is not a secure pair of scripts as the codes
# are visible with the 'ps' command.  However, it is simple.
#
# These are the parameters. Change as needed.
TELEPHONE=8275000 # The telephone number for the connection
ACCOUNT=xxxx # The account name for logon (as in 'George Burns')
PASSWORD=xxxxxxx # The password for this account (and 'Gracie Allen')
LOCAL_IP=0.0.0.0 # Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0 # Remote IP address if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 # The proper netmask if needed
#
# Export them so that they will be available at 'ppp-on-dialer' time.
export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD
#
# This is the location of the script which dials the phone and logs

        kill -INT `cat /var/run/$DEVICE.pid`
#
# If the kill did not work then there is no process running for this
# pid. It may also mean that the lock file will be left. You may wish
# to delete the lock file at the same time.
        if [ ! "$?" = "0" ]; then
                rm -f /var/run/$DEVICE.pid
                echo "ERROR: Removed stale pid file"
                exit 1

        echo "PPP link to $DEVICE terminated."
        exit 0
fi
#
# The ppp process is not running for ppp0
echo "ERROR: PPP link is not active on $DEVICE"
exit 1

I also used Lothar to detect my modem,it did not detect it.

                                  Thank you all,Gary Martin
