This probably means that NT is waiting to receive a real PPP packet,
and is ignoring your carriage returns you're typing. This would also
imply that it wants to authenticate using PAP/CHAP. You should get
a chat script working for pppd to connect up. I guess a lot of people
use pon/poff but I've never tried these since it's easy enough to
write a simple script. Here's an example: (please excuse the
unintended line-breaks my email client is sure to insert in the
'connect' stuff)
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 38400 crtscts debug lock modem defaultroute \
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -t 120 ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ
OK ATE0V1 OK ATDT5551212 CONNECT ''"
Note that this script will not try to do authentication, but having
"debug" as an option will log packets to /var/log/ppp.log, and you
should be able to see what it is that NT wants.
