[PPP] pon and plog not working

[Mark Phillips <mark@ist.flinders.edu.au>]

Hi,

A friend of mine has installed debian on his laptop.  I tried running pon.
It runs without complaining, but doesn't do anything much.  The modem
doesn't make any of the usual noises associated with an attempt to
connect.  When I do plog, it comes up blank.  When I do a ps, it seems
that pon has indeed started up a couple of processes.  These sit there for
a few minutes and then die.  Other than this I have no idea what is going
on.  Certainly plog is no help.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark.
