ISP modem connection
Hi,
I'm sorry the long mail, but I would have no way of describing my problem
without it.
I'm trying to connect to my ISP, using my Lucent Venus Voice Modem, since
august, 2000.
I made these things:
- ISA PnP issues, with pnpdump --> isapnp.conf
- setserial /dev/ttyS1 - the port whas detected as 16550A.
Well, now I have access to the modem. So I used pppconfig to set the chat
scripts.
But the connection with my ISP is not going on. The modem dials, makes the
modem noise, but I think there's no handshake with my ISP. I tried PAP,
CHAP (even Chat, but my ISP is windows based).
So I tought: the modem is not yet configured. I'll try to do it with AT
commands. This is my modem log under windows:

So I tried this, with my /etc/chatscripts/provider :
# This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.5.
# Please do not delete any of the comments. Pppconfig needs them.
#
# ispauth PAP
# abortstring
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO
DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
# modeminit
'' 'AT &F0 E0 &C1 &D2 V1 S0=0\V1W0'
# ispnumber
OK-AT-OK ATDT6129220
# ispconnect
CONNECT CLIENT
# prelogin
# ispname
# isppassword
# postlogin
# end of pppconfig stuff
This is my pap-secrets file:
#
# /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
#
# This is a pap-secrets file to be used with the AUTO_PPP function of
# mgetty. mgetty-0.99 is preconfigured to startup pppd with the login
option
# which will cause pppd to consult /etc/passwd (and /etc/shadow in turn)
# after a user has passed this file. Don't be disturbed therfore by the
fact
# that this file defines logins with any password for users. /etc/passwd
# (again, /etc/shadow, too) will catch passwd mismatches.
#
# This file should block ALL users that should not be able to do AUTO_PPP.
# AUTO_PPP bypasses the usual login program so its necessary to list all
# system userids with regular passwords here.
#
# ATTENTION: The definitions here can allow users to login without a
# password if you don't use the login option of pppd! The mgetty Debian
# package already provides this option; make sure you don't change that.
# INBOUND connections
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
* frijole "" *
# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!
guest frijole "*" -
master frijole "*" -
# root frijole "*" - --------------------------> I'm
using my machine as root - this line was enabled and disabled
support frijole "*" -
stats frijole "*" -
# OUTBOUND connections
# Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via
# PAP. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect
# to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
# replace password with your password.
# If you have different providers with different passwords then you better
# remove the following line.
rffjr provider <password is placed here>
I think I'm doing the same steps I use under windows, but nothing works.
When I type plog, the only information I have is that the chat script
failed.
These are the last lines of my /var/log/syslog:

The only information I have, now, is an alarm.
You may ask of the sequence ATS7=60S30=0L0M1\N3%C1&K3B0B15N1X4. I tried it
to, but nothing works.
I also tried to use C-Kermit. I can send AT commands, the modem responds to
them, but when I tried the dial command, it says that maybe there's a
trouble with the modem error-correction, that the modem may be RPI. My
modem is not RPI, it's an ISA pnp, but I tried to disable error-correction
with the &Q6 AT command (I have the modem AT commands manual)... same thing
as always.
1) Is there another way to watch the logs of my connection more closely?
2) Can the problem be with the serial port uart? I tried to setserial
16650, 16450, 16650, etc, but only 16650A works.
3) I tried another ISP (in Brazil, we have a few ISP's that are for free),
but ... nothing.
4) I tried to use CHAP, also. But nothing... I even checked the md5 and MS
80 definitions of CHAP, but they're right, according to the CHAP docs.
5) I'm almost trying Red Hat. Definitively, I'm not a linux guru (...yet).
Thanks for any help,
Gaúcho.
