Hi all,
Made a linux convert recently. We installed RH 5.1 along with
his existing Win 98 install on a Pentium 133, 48M RAM. Both
systems boot smoothly, and everything seems to be in order.
Win98 can drive the USR Sportster 33.6 fine, but for some
reason Linux won't dial. When using kppp, we get "Sorry,
modem not ready." From the command line or from netcfg,
there is no complaint at the console, but the ppp0
interface doesn't come up.
/var/log/messages says, "PPP line discipline successfully
registered, tcgetattr (I/O error)." I have set up ppp on
a handful of other machines, but have never run across this
one.
Any clues? Surely an external modem couldn't have been subverted
to PnP mode? I've tried the "Data Terminal Ready" dipswitch both
on and off. Linux still doesn't respond, and Win98 will only dial
with that switch "on".
I'm well versed with the PPP howto, and the docs, but maybe there's
another worth looking at...
Thanks in anticipation,
Eric Cifreo
