RE: minicom, modem questions



-Hi there, I am trying to get my modem to communicate with
-the one at work. Using dial-up networking from window$
-works, but it is pretty ennoying to reboot to
-the window$ OS every time I need my modem.

-I read the Serial and PPP-HOWTO's as well as the PPP-over-minicom
-mini-HOWTO. 
-I made sure my modem is configured as described in section 9.3
-of the PPP-HOWTO (these were default anyway).
-The point where I get stuck each time is section 9.5, i.e.
-testing the modem for dial out.
-What happens is the following:
-I start minicom, the modem initializes, I dial
-my phone-number at work, and after some seconds, ... connection 
-is established.
-As pointed out it is then question of finding
-out what the ppp-host requires as login procedure.
-The trouble is that I never receive any prompt, nor any other "funny
-characters" as suggested in these HOWTO's. Basically nothing happens.  
-(Remark: I am almost sure that my corporate site uses PAP.) 

-I've already spend too much time on this, hope someone can put
-me one the right track again, otherwise I will have to abandon
-the idea.

I had the same problem my first time with pppd,
use  +ua  in pppd commad line
