Some to try

Some Aztech strings

Also found several sites with generic strings when I googled.

Jay's modem site

Modemhelp.org

Also might try emailing support for the manufacture of your modem. Just tell
you want an init string for a Mac.

I worked again on my modem this morning and I noticed:

- Using minicom the result is:

ATX3DTispphonenumber
CONNECT
Username:

Password:

~Entering PPP mode.}-}*Async interface address is unnumbered (Loopback0)}-}*Your IP address is 151.29.215.250. MR

If I change ISP I got:

ATX3DTisp2phonenumber
CONNECT 52000
~<FF>}#.!}!.} }8}"}&} }*} } }#}$.#}%}&<EB>.1};}'}"}(}"<EC>.~~<FF>}#.!}!.} }8}"}&} }*} } }#}$ESC[13;80H.

In both case after 24 seconds the connections falls!!
A friend of mine says that the init string should be correct and the connection with isp works but should fail the login! Should be??
The username and passwords are correct!!

With ppp-on or ppp-go the answer is always: Connect Script Failed
I notice that the modem doesn't hang-up!
My /etc/ppp/pppscript is:

Code:

TIMEOUT 60
ABORT ERROR
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
"" "AT&FH0" OK
"AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0" OK
"atx3dtisp2phonenumber"
TIMEOUT 75
CONNECT

Now I suppose that the init sring is correct and something goes wrong with authentication
Suggestion??
Tnx VM for Yr help!

One thing I see is you need to escape the ampersands (\&) in your init strings. You should also open an xterm/console (as root) and type "tail -f /var/log/messages". This will let you watch some debugging output while you run the ppp-on program and tell you exactly what commands/strings are being passed back and forth between your modem and your ISP.

Your connection through minicom will fail if the pppd daemon is not started right after you enter your login and password. You might even try typing "pppd" (as root) on the command line right after you get the "CONNECT" message in minicom.

This is a sample of a good connection (from /var/log/messages file):

I hadn't understand what you said...I'm doing it now!!(excuse my english)!!

Taking a look into /var/log/messages:
...
Nov 14 10:24:33 thor pppd[649]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
Nov 14 10:24:34 thor chat[650]: timeout set to 60 seconds

Tnx Again

Well..
Escape the ampersands...done
The strings now are:

Code:

"" "AT\&FH0" OK
"AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 \&c1 E1 Q0" OK

Control The /var/log/message...done
As in previous post...
I tried also "AT\&F" OK but the result is the same...

After minicom connection I can't launch pppd 'cause says that /dev/modem is useb by another device (minicom)

How can I correct error shows in /var/log/messages??
Tnx Very Much

Obscure · 11-17-2003, 02:32 PM

Finally I've resolved my problem!!!!Now the modem works!!!

The first init string must be ATZ instead AT&FH0

I've added an entries into Hardware Compatibilty List here on Linuxquestion

Tnx All For Help...
