wvdial connects then disconnects - message log has no errors
I can't seem to get ppp to hold an internet connection open for longer than a few seconds.
I'm using gentoo 2004 with a D480 connexant modem. I purchased the linuxant modem which did work with slackware (the reason to switching to gentoo is another story).
I'm aware linuxant drivers have issues with AC '97 sound drivers so I made sure sound related modules were not installed in the kernel.
I've used gnome-ppp, kppp and wvdial and each have the same problem. I connect, then shortly after I get disconnected - message log tells me the Authorization failed but the same username and password works in wondow$. I've added some details of my setup in the hope that someone can pick the fault...

should +pap and/or +chap be included in the /etc/ppp/options??
the info I found online seemed conflicting which is why Im a bit confused about this.
I discovered through tinkering that it needs +chap
You also might want to change that setting of 460800 to 115200 unless the modem documentation states that it has something other than a 16550A UART.
