Thank you for replying to my posting.
As I said in the letter the problems only started after I installed the standard package 'plus' (the plus being midnight commander and a game called luxman). I then tested the modem and it worked fine. Then I used pppconfig and the modem ... I won't repeat myself. Here's the rest of info you requested: /etc/ppp/peers/provider noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider defaultroute /dev/modem 38400 persist /etc/chatscripts/provider ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT VOICE ABORT "NO DIALTONE" " " ATDT<edit phone number here> ogin <put login name here> word \g<put password here> /etc/ppp/pap-secrets * molec3 "" * guest molec3 "*" - master molec3 "*" - root molec3 "*" - support molec3 "*" - stats molec3 "*" - molec3 * password irvine * ........ plog Jan 31 19:24:08 debian chat[20480]: abort on (VOICE) Jan 31 19:24:08 debian chat[20480]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Jan 31 19:24:08 debian chat[20480]: abort on (NO ANSWER) Jan 31 19:24:08 debian chat[20480]: send (ATZ^M) Jan 31 19:24:09 debian chat[20480]: expect (OK) Jan 31 19:24:27 debian chat[20480]: ^M Jan 31 19:24:54 debian chat[20480]: alarm Jan 31 19:24:54 debian chat[20479]: Connect script failed Jan 31 19:24:58 debian chat[20479]: Exit. I also thought I'd include the results of ps which amongst other things shows the following just after I try to connect: pid tty stat time command ... S2 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd call dlc ... S2 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/dlc Thanks again for your reply. I hope you can help me. It's evening here in Finland and I will soon be going to work so if you write I have to wait until the morning before I can reply. Cheers Again !!! per_adua32
