Hi, I run Debian 2.2 release 3 (stable) and I use the script ``pon'' to connect to my IP. Sometimes I get a connection, sometimes the connection stops and/or I can't connect. Since I have 2 providers, I suppose that the problem comes from my side.
The analysis in /var/log/syslog of the problem is not always the same. For instance, sometimes the problem is ``NO CARRIER'', sometimes it is ``serial link seems to be disconnected'', ``no response to x requests'', ``Modem Hangup'' or finally ``serial line is looped back''. I also saw the line: Feb 12 09:56:03 debian modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-10 I don't understand what these messages mean. Is there something that I should reinstall or reconfigure ? (I put below the significant lines of /var/log/syslog). Thanks very much for your help. Laurent. ################ First type of error ################ Feb 12 10:31:38 debian pppd[1369]: pppd 2.3.11 started by laurent, uid 1000 Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: abort on (BUSY) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: abort on (VOICE) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: abort on (NO DIAL TONE) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: abort on (NO ANSWER) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: send (ATZ^M) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: expect (OK) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: ATZ^M^M Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: OK Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: -- got it Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: send (ATL1M1DT0860301020^M) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: expect (CONNECT) Feb 12 10:31:39 debian chat[1370]: ^M Feb 12 10:32:24 debian chat[1370]: ATL1M1DT0860301020^M^M Feb 12 10:32:24 debian chat[1370]: NO CARRIER Feb 12 10:32:24 debian chat[1370]: -- failed Feb 12 10:32:24 debian chat[1370]: Failed (NO CARRIER) Feb 12 10:32:24 debian pppd[1369]: Connect script failed Feb 12 10:32:25 debian pppd[1369]: Exit. ################ Second type of error ################ ...as above....
