MSN KPPP Problems-

beagleboy4tv · 03-24-2004, 06:59 AM

I installed KPPP on my Linux System-Fedora Core 1 and I type in MSN\bealeboy4tv and It waits at the Intitializing Modem sign. I have waited almost 15 minutes to initialize and it never did. If I can't get MSN working can someone tell me a free ISP (Not Juno) that I can use so I can get on the internet.

Are you sure your modem works? Unless it's a hardware modem, it will take a fair bit of work to get going - I suggest you search the forums for you modem model and try and get it working.
If it definitely is supported with Linux, I can't see why MSN wouldn't work

I know thst it is supported it is a GTW V.92 Voicemodem.It worked in Windows XP. It just hangs there-I set it to COM 3-becuse that's what it was in XP-Home

COM3 = /dev/ttyS2
Click 'Query Modem' when this is picked. Post result.

I tried it on /dev/ttys2 and it said it was busy but I tried it on /dev/ttsy0 and it worked all of the ATI things are blank

Do you have anything on COM1? I think the modem is on ttyS2, and it's not responding properly because it is a winmodem. See www.linmodems.org
