Connecting to my ISP.
Dear Debian Group,
My problem today is that I am sometimes unable to connect to my ISP.
Sometimes I am able to connect, but then many times I am not. The difference
occurs immediately after the line: "--> Carrier detected. Waiting for
prompt." Some times the prompt is given and then WvDial connects fine, but
then sometimes it is not and the problem occurs. There is nothing that I do
differently and when I am unable to connect I am unable to connect for a
very long time even when I try over and over many times. I am unsure as to
whether it has to do with how WvDial and my modem communicate with my ISPs
modem or whether it is the sole responsibility of my ISP. When I connect
with my Windows 98 box and its modem I never encounter a problem. I have
trouble only with my Debian box and modem.
I have written out exactly what appears on my monitor:
debian:~# wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.14
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
