I need to configure a dial up modem - not an internal winmodem but a
serial connected external modem. I am unfamiliar with kppp and am not
having much success so far, although I am putting in the sort of obvious
entries with my limited knowledge.
If anyone is familiar with this method I would be grateful for some
hand holding.
(I am used to kinternet in my suse days which seemed to be very easy
but I cannot see kinternet with kubuntu repositories)
The machine is normally used with a lan (adsl router) connection to
internet, but I know that, at least with suse, I can have dial up
running concurrently.
I can get as far as hearing the modem dial out, and also hear the
response from the isp (waitrose), then the log indicates that
something is hanging or whatever-
ATZ
OK
ATM1L3
OK
ATDT0844 056 7100
CONNECT 115200
('starting pppd')
(logging onto network.....)
(my comment - looks like it is hanging here with pppd not starting and
no sign of logging onto network)
(The ppd daemoin diesd unexpectedly, Exit status 1) -
details:
Dec 16 23:43:50 mesh-pc pppd[5249]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself
Dec 16 23:43:50 mesh-pc pppd[5249]: but I couldn't find any suitable
secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Dec 16 23:43:50 mesh-pc pppd[5249]: (None of the available passwords
would let it use an IP address.)
