I have connected an external 56k modem to com1
(ttyS0). I ran pppconfig and filled in the info to the best of my knowledge.
Then I ran pon. Then I did a 'plog' and got the following
diagnostics:
abort on (NO
DIALTONE)
abort on (NO ANSWER)
send (ATZ^M)
expect OK
--got it
send ATDT2785620
expect (CONNECT)
^M
alarm
Failed
Connect script failed
Exit.
I tried pon again and got the same diagnostics..Then when I
tried pon the fourth time I got the following diagnostics:
abort on (NO DIALTONE)
abort on (NO ANSWER)
send (ATZ^M)
expect OK
--got it
send ATDT2785620
expect (CONNECT)
^M

I know that the modem is dialing out as I heard it do so all
times..In the first case, I didn't hear the screeching sound, whereas in the
second, I did.
So I thought the serial module device drivers should be
enabled. So I ran modconf as root and enabled them, but the system couldn't
detect any. What happened was at boot time, the system hanged. So then I
disabled serial modules...
My 486 has a 16450 UART...Do you reckon this to be the
problem. Should I be using a modem of lower speed, say, 33.6??
Here are some of the lines from /var/log/kern.log

depends on it

Having run pon, how do I know if I'm connected. Will issuing a telnet
connect me to the remote server? I have just the base system. I have no
communcation software, like seyon or minicom or EzPPP, etc..neither do I have
any GUI, like XWindows..And I am the sole user of the system. I intend adding
more utililies, like XWIndows, etc..once I have the modem working properly and
am able to connect to my ISP. |
