Hi group, I have been switching my dial-up account between my desktop PC and my netbook eee. Both use identical ppp conf files except the PC uses /dev/ttyS0 and the netbook uses /dev/ttyUSB0(created by the pl2303 driver and a usb/serial connector). I'm using separate but identical USR modems.
Both seem to "work" in that the appropriate LEDs light up on either modem but the log tells a different tale. In the PC: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid nnnn), status = 0x1. Which means I am connected. In the netbook, status =0x0. Which means un-connected. FWIW on the netbook I'm using systemrescuecd-1.2.0, running /root% pon <isp> on one terminal and attempting to emerge gentoo-sources from a chrooted environment on another terminal which fails, naturally, with 'unable to resolve host address' errors. I've done this often before without problems. Maxim
