Hi,

I hope someone can help with this - I'm sure its just something stupid that
I'm doing wrong :-(
But I've never had to set a modem up before - I live in the age of ethernet
and gateways, and broadband connections :-)

I need to set up a modem on a SCO Openserver 5.0.6 box.

The story so far:

The modem is attached to tty1A. I can do
cu -ltty1A dir
and send AT commands, getting correct responses for as long as I like.

I can do
cu SYSNAME
and get the chimera prompt back from our Ascend max200 terminal server.

I can then use a limited number of commands (including telnet which I've
enabled for debug), to get to other boxes on the network: The modem is
working correctly :-)

I've started up pppd -d9, to get LOTS of debug.

pppattach briefly shows up as connected, and then immediately drops the
connection.
I have /etc/pppauth set up with username password pair (separated by a
single tab)

The last few lines of debug (after dialing correctly) are:
Forked 1693 Wait got 1693 status 0
getto ret 7
ISTRIP cleared
lockname(/usr/spool/uucp/LCK..tty1a)
lockname(/usr/spool/uucp/LCK..tty1a)

Any help would be appreciated, as I don't know where to go from here.
Oh, the Max200 still has a couple of windows PCs which can dial in and get a
ppp connection (inclulding mine, which I use as a backup in case I need to
kick the broadband connection), so I'm pretty sure that is working as it
should.

TIA
