I've been using diald and pppd for about six months now - no problem. (Thanks to Phillipe Troin et al.)
But, ISDN has arrived and the 33.6Kbps is "growing old".... I've installed a Hayes ESP and attached a Hayes Accura ISDN TA to it. I've installed the esp module as per instructions, configured the TA, and have begun testing.... and I'm running into problems.... The Accura works perfectly on my Win95 Notebook. It also works under Linux from minicom. I can access the TA as a regular modem, run diagnostics, and dial my ISP. All works great. But, things fell apart when I tried updating my diald configuration to use the Hayes ESP/Accura combination rather than my old ttyS0 (16450) and USR Sportster. (i.e. update DEV=?? in /etc/init.d/diald) Looking at /var/log/messages, it seems as if chat is the source of my trouble. It keeps timing out because it's not getting any response from the "modem". I feel this is pretty strange because minicom has no problems at all using this device. I'm running Debian GNU/Linux 1.2.16 with a custom kernel on this system I'm using minicom at 115200 N81. setserial reports /dev/ttyP40 with a baud_base of 921600 and divisor of 8. I've tried various "speed" settings in /dev/diald/diald.options. The only area I feel I'm a little "weak" on in all of this is the concept of divisors and speed_cust regarding high-speed serial I/O. Any pointers to docs covering this would be very welcome. Other than that, I can't think of what my problem might be. Why would chat have a problem communicating with my "modem" when minicom, etc, doesn't? Any ideas, suggestions, and/or pointers welcome!
