Lance,
Look at your /var/log/ppp.log. It will tell you what is going on.
Also did you try using the minicom program to see what is going on? Try this
and see if you can connect up and input your logon namd and password. If you
can, then see if IBM is sending the PPP start sequence. But most of all look
at the ppp.log as it will tell you the most informtion and can work from
there.
Also to find out what version of ppp your are running try:
debian:/etc# pppd -h
You should get something like this....
pppd version 2.3 patch level 5
Usage: pppd [ options ], where options are:
<device> Communicate over the named device
<speed> Set the baud rate to <speed>
<loc>:<rem> Set the local and/or remote interface IP
addresses. Either one may be omitted.
asyncmap <n> Set the desired async map to hex <n>
auth Require authentication from peer
connect <p> Invoke shell command <p> to set up the serial line
crtscts Use hardware RTS/CTS flow control
defaultroute Add default route through interface
file <f> Take options from file <f>
modem Use modem control lines
mru <n> Set MRU value to <n> for negotiation
See pppd(8) for more options.
Hope This Helps
