I am trying to set up Debian on a friends computer. I cannot get the modem connection (configured using pppconfig) to work. Her modem is a Motorola Voice SURFR 56k external on ttyS1. All the info I am supplying to pppconfig is correct. The connection is established but only for a few seconds (maybe 10 secs) before hangup. I use the same ISP and my modem connects no problem. There seems to be something strange about the modem, but it is not faulty and works with M$ you-know-what.
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, -- Guy Heatley
