PPP problems

[Ian & Gill Watkins <ianw@cyber.net.pk>]

I am attempting to get PPPD to work from my Debian Linux machine with a
marked lack of success....

I have been firing up Minicom to dial and log on, then CTRL-AQ to drop
out of Minicom without reseting the modem (as described in the PPP-
HOWTO) and then entering a command thus:

pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS0 38400 &

again from the PPP-HOWTO. The additional commands are defined in the PPP
options file.

This is the data I get from the log:

Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: Using interface ppp0
Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Nov 25 16:12:25 server pppd[140]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 552>
        <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xd7a90045> <pcomp> <accomp>]
Nov 25 16:12:43 server last message repeated 6 times
Nov 25 16:12:44 server pppd[140]: Modem hangup
Nov 25 16:12:44 server pppd[140]: Connection terminated.
Nov 25 16:12:44 server pppd[140]: Exit.

There is a little modem activity and then the modem drops.....

The link (same modem, same ISP) works fine under Win95 & WinNTWS. I have also now managed to set up a dial-up script with the same result.

I have checked with my ISP and they are not using PAP or CHAP.

Any ideas? I have also added the noipdefault parameter as well.

Thanks.
