Hi,

Am using minicom to dial in to my ISP. The modem (on com1) dials the number and gets connected.

I go, Crtl+A and exit without resetting. Then i type pppd at the prompt....

However, my ppp connection fails!!!...

I've logged the error messages from pppd . They are as follows:-

pppd 2.4.1 started by root
using interface ppp0
connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
LCP: timeout sending config-requests
connection terminated

I've read through the manual entry for pppd and have noticed that there are some optional 'LCP ' related parameters there.....unfortunately, i do not quite undestand what LCP is in the first place...

Someone please help???!!! ....

regards,

Mar4

hi,
Just check whether the modem is connected to the right port. U can do this by querying modem. Its there in your ppp configuration window.

Hi there,

I know the modem is on Com 1..../dev/ttyS0.

when I do ls /dev/ttyS* , it picks up the device on the serial port....

Its really pretty wretched. Any ideas??...
