Hi,

I've two computers. One of them connects to the internet via ppp
without problems. The other just refuses to collaborate :-)
I tryed to reconfigure the ppp with help of pppconfig. Didn't help a
bit. Then I tryed to copy the working files from one computer to the
other
cp -r /etc/ppp
cp -r /etc/chatscripts
Didn't help either.

Anyone any clue?
My syslog:

Hello,

I'm not sure whether this is of any use to you, but
I had a similar problem (with my mom's PC running Ubuntu) 2 days ago.
The modem would dial, get an IP address and within
one minute I'd get a Modem Hangup.

This turned out to be a hardware problem.

I was using the 2 normally unused wires of the telephone
cable to send the signal back from the modem to the actual
telephone. After I moved the computer and modem upstairs,
this problem suddenly arose.
Disabling this "hack" made everything work again.
I guess some wires got crossed ;-)

So I'd suggest you make sure you haven't got some weird hardware
problem like I had. I really thought it was a software issue at first.
I only discovered the real cause by accident ...
