Hello all,
I have recently begun to install Debian on an extra partition as I would
like to stay away from the comercial distributions that I have been using and things
have gone well up untill now. I have all the necessary parts of diald and
pppd installed, and I started to try to get things configured. When I got
all of my option files and connect script in place, I tried it. It has
been failing miserably. Here is what seems to be happening:
Diald is working properly, attempts to bring up the link at appropriate
times
The chat script invoked by diald seems to function. My modem comes up,
dials and connects and starts ppp.
I then get the message: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Good up to here!, but I never establish the ppp link. Here is the tail of
my ppp.log file:
(And yes I'm not using /dev/cua*, but /dev/ttyS1.)
May 14 00:30:12 whitehouselocal chat[657]: send (ppp^M)
May 14 00:30:12 whitehouselocal diald[387]: Running pppd (pid = 658).
May 14 00:30:12 whitehouselocal pppd[658]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
May 14 00:31:12 whitehouselocal diald[387]: pppd startup timed out. Check your p
ppd options. Killing pppd.
May 14 00:31:12 whitehouselocal pppd[658]: Terminating on signal 2.
May 14 00:31:12 whitehouselocal pppd[658]: Failed to open /dev/ttyS1: Interrupte
d system call
May 14 00:31:12 whitehouselocal pppd[658]: Exit.
May 14 00:31:14 whitehouselocal diald[387]: Delaying 10 seconds before clear to
dial.
May 14 00:32:38 whitehouselocal diald[387]: SIGTERM. Termination request receive
d.
Of note diald doesn't barf and timeout the pppd startup for 60 seconds,
far after the remote machine has given up setting up a ppp link and has
hung up.
I have read the faq and don't see anything there to help me. Anyone who
has an idea or two please let me know!!!
Thanks in advace
