Has anyone in Montgomery County (MD) been able to get Linux to work with
CTVM's setup? I've been trying to get this hybrid setup working for a
week with no results. And the Cable Modem setup HOWTO is of no use.
So far my guess is that I am running into a PAP problem where my script is
simply wrong; I have the proper values in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and
ip-up.local. My eth0 is set to 10.0.0.1 with mask 255.255.255.240/bcast
10.0.0.15. I'm getting these errors under pppd:
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Connection terminated.
Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:
Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
Serial link disconnected.
Exit.
I've been using the ppp-on and ppp-on-dialog scripts located in
/usr/doc/ppp-2.3.10/scripts. According to a page I found
(http://www.coopzone.connectfree.co.uk/e0.html) you're not supposed to
have anything after a CONNECT has been issued. I did that and I was still
getting the above error.
A coworker told me that he tried to use an ISDN modem with a cable modem
for upstream data (I have no idea why) but he told me that ISDN modem did
not support PAP under Linux. I am just using a generic (now defunct Atlas
Peripherals) 56k modem that's been working for two years now. Am I wrong
in thinking PAP is platform-independent?
Just to see what was up I called CTVM and asked them how they verified
users. They said they used PAP with a Cisco modem bank (no funky M$-CHAP
stuff).
I used minicom just for yucks and giggles and it did ask me for a username
and password (is this significant? Does this mean it uses both terminal
verification and PAP?).
Anyone have ideas???
