pppd/modem frustration.

[Hans <hansfong@zonnet.nl>]

I've posted a question about this earlier this week, but nobody responded.
Is it that much out of the ordinary that no-one can give me some hints or
tips?

- when connecting to my ISP the connection comes up with the correct flow
rate 11500
- after about 8 kb of upstreaming data communication stops
- soon after pppd dies suddenly

I thought is might be a flow control problem, so I set the init string of
my modem to ATZ&K3, but this didn't help a bit. I don't have another
machine to test the pcmcia modem, but when I hook an external to my Acer
TM512 dialup works fabulous. Modem has a hardware failure or still pppd?
Come on guys, Linux ain't much fun without an internet connection, so help
me out on this one, will ya?
