but why? ppp_sync is not loaded on the laptop, and it's not needed for pppd/modem communication, which is asynchronous. > 2) Can you dial with minicom to your provider and stay connected until > your provider disconnect you? Actually, what are the differences when > trying to dial from within minicom to your provider with the laptop and > the desktop? yes, i can dial in, but i get disconnected after about 30 seconds, which is (i guess) because my provider isn't picking up my part of a ppp conversation (which, of course, i am not sending either). this strikes me as legitimate behaviour. and do not forget: the external modem works just fine when serially connected to the laptop. > 3) What about the differences in the ppp, chat and setserial between > the desktop and the laptop? there are no differences. > 4) Have you tried the PPP-HOWTO? of course. no info there. thanks for your time in any case! -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught." -- oscar wilde
