Hello,
I keep dropping my connection after about 20 seconds. I have read the HOWTO
and realize that this is probably a modem problem. I want to make sure there
is no way around it before I buy a new modem. I can connect to my ISP through
minicom and Windoze. I dont think there is anything wrong with the script because
I know people who connect using this exact script. The ISP provided the script.
I know they also do not require authentication.
All process were run as root. Ive tried every option in pppd
that looked logical in the man pages, even -all. No luck. The exact
same thing.
My modem is a Gateway Telepath II 14.4. Is there a way around my problem without
buying a new modem? If not, could someone recommend a quality 28.8 modem that
IS compatible with pppd. If it IS my modem, why do minicom and windoze work?
Please help...I have no idea what else to do :(
Feel free to post to comp.os.linux.network, here or email me.
Thanks,
