still configuring PPP :-(
Hello everyone. I'm sorry to post this again, but I'm having new problem
now.
I made some changes to those files I sent before and now when I type pppd
at the command prompt I get some garbage text on my screen, and after a
little while(30 seconds or so) I get the prompt back.
I tailed d my /var/log/messages file and it reads as follows:
pppd started by root.....
using interface ppp0
connect : ppp0 <---> /dev/tty1
Lcp: time out sending config-Request
Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean
Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
Exit
Any suggestions? I tried minicom -h but minicom is not in my system.
I only have the base system installed. It's Debian 2.1 (Slink).
I also tried wvdial. Not installed either.
I'm eager to get Debian going. Please help.
Thanks a million in advance.
The files I have are as follows:
/etc/chatscripts/provider:
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
"" ATZ
OK ATDT*70,8071800 # i verifyed the phone number

Q. How many Microsoft Engineers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. None. They declare "darkness", the standard.
