Hello, I've been messing around with Debian/Linux for about 3 months now. I recently acquired a modem for my hamm box and am trying to set up my system for a ppp/pap connection.
I have run pppconfig, and now when I do "pon", the system waits about 1/2 minute, and dials the ISP's number. After the modem dials the number, I can hear the carrier-detect; then the modem disconnects in about another 1/2 minute. The same thing happens (more or less) when I run minicom. I have attached some of some related files. Also, this computer is on a LAN (in case that makes any difference). I got some help today (in IRC) from someone who works at an ISP that runs Debian, and he was stumped. If anyone can figure this out, I will owe you a beer (or six). TIA, --David
