Re: Best Solution for PPP?

[Mike Werner <reznaeous@earthlink.net>]

Thanks for the reply, but it's still not working.

My /etc/ppp/peers/provider:
# This file was generated by pppconfig.  You can edit the following
lines
# but please do not delete lines or the change the comments or you will
# confuse pppconfig.
noauth         #pppconfig_noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider" 
#pppconfig_connect
debug          #pppconfig_debug
/dev/ttyS0       #pppconfig_dev
115200      #pppconfig_speed
defaultroute         #pppconfig_route
noipdefault     #pppconfig_ipdefault
user ELN/werner1  #pppconfig_user
# End of pppconfig controlled lines.  You can add lines below here
without
# confusing pppconfig.
demand idle 600 holdoff 5
10.0.0.1:38.12.23.34
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote

After doing those changes the modem still does not dial.

However, it seems this is all moot as I've come up against a seperate
problem.  Last night I left that box (xanadu) up all night.  When I came
home from class this afternoon the machine had completely locked up. 
The screen had blanked, telnet no longer responded, neither did ftp, nor
did ping.  Nothing responded at all.  As far as any other machine on the
LAN was concerned xanadu was gone.  So I had to reboot using the reset
button on the case.  I'm suspecting hardware problems.  Joy.
