Re: modem diagnostic?
John,
I hope you don't mind if I jump on this thread. I made the same mistakes
and now I need help!
I followed RunningLinux... I also used wvdial (and that works, dialing
up to AT&T here in Tucson, AZ). However, I need to dial other ISPs (this
is a portable). And they did not work with wvdial.
So, I decided to take a different path.
I removed PPP and then reinstalled ppp and pppconfig.
I ran pppconfig and created a profile.
Then I ran pon, I hear the dialtone, but it does not try to dial.
plog reports:
[...]
expect (phone)
alarm
Failed
Connect script failed
abort on (BUSY)
abort on (NO CARRIER)
abort on (VOICE)
abort on (NO DIALTONE)
send (ATDT<put^M)
expect (phone)
The script just cycles.
Any thoughts?
Thanks -- Randy
