Hi there. I've been strugling with my null modem-ppp-configuration, and last night I gained some progress: I found pppd option 'local', and with that I managed to make pppd's on both machines to send ConfReq packets. They didn't do that without 'local', they propably just waited for 'carried detect' or something, which they obviously couldn't get from null modem cable. But, as you can see from syslog, things aren't still working yet:
Nov 1 18:58:02 debianph pppd[190]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0 Nov 1 18:58:02 debianph pppd[190]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 1 18:58:02 debianph pppd[190]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 Nov 1 18:58:02 debianph pppd[190]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xf2c23f12> <pcomp> <accomp>] Nov 1 18:58:14 debianph last message repeated 4 times Nov 1 18:58:17 debianph pppd[190]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Nov 1 18:58:17 debianph pppd[190]: Connection terminated. Nov 1 18:58:17 debianph pppd[190]: Exit. So, now pppd's are sending ConfReq's (syslog is similar in both machines), but either one of them isn't receiving anything. Hardware is working, because getty-seyon combination works. What could be wrong? Could I somehow monitor serial ports to see if or if not they really are receiving something? I put my config files in here also, maybe some of you can figure something out of this information. /etc/ppp/options: asyncmap 0 lock local netmask 255.255.255.0 noauth debug crtscts lcp-max-configure 5 /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1: 100.100.100.10:100.100.100.51 Hope that some of you can give me some hints.
