Why is it so hard to connect to ISP in Debian 2.0?
Thanks!
It doesn't work. I can't follow your instructions exactly because I use
Debian 2.0 and pppconfig has not a "Change" entry. I recreate a connection
and choose "Chat" instead of "PAP" and change login prompt to "username".
Below is that part of ppp.log:
Nov 28 06:01:21 debian chat[214]: abort on (VOICE)
Nov 28 06:01:21 debian chat[214]: abort on (NO DIALTONE)
Nov 28 06:01:21 debian chat[214]: abort on (NO ANSWER)
Nov 28 06:01:21 debian chat[214]: send (ATZ^M)
Nov 28 06:01:21 debian chat[214]: expect (OK)
Nov 28 06:01:40 debian chat[214]: ATZ^M^M
Nov 28 06:01:40 debian chat[214]: OK
Nov 28 06:01:40 debian chat[214]: -- got it

Nov 28 06:02:10 debian chat[214]: ATDT8888^M
Nov 28 06:02:10 debian chat[214]: CONNECT
Nov 28 06:02:10 debian chat[214]: -- got it
Nov 28 06:02:10 debian chat[214]: send (^M)
Nov 28 06:02:10 debian chat[214]: expect (name:)
Nov 28 06:02:20 debian chat[214]: 115200^M
Nov 28 06:02:40 debian chat[214]: *********************************^M
Nov 28 06:02:55 debian chat[214]: alarm
Nov 28 06:02:55 debian chat[214]: Failed
Nov 28 06:02:55 debian pppd[213]: Connect script failed
Later I change "username:" to "username:--username:" in /etc/chat*/provider
and it doesn't work. I recreate a connection and choose PAP and add login
lines in /etc/chat*/provider and it fails again. Why is it so hard to
connect to ISP in Debian 2.0?
