Hello,
I'm a bit new to Linux in general, so please excuse what is likely to be
a simple matter to you all: for the life of me, I can't seem to get ppp
setup correctly (I'm writing this thru another OS- dual boot). I've read
everything I can get my hands on, follow the instuctions, but I still
come up empty. My kernal has ppp support. My modem is a p-n-p modem, and
I've got the specs on it and went to the maker, who gave me a driver for
it that should work under linux. It's a 536ep Intel, by Encore, and they
provide a driver that compiles OK, and everything seems to go OK. I run
pppsetup, answer the questions. I know my ISP's nameserver' IP, #, tone
dialing, and I know the modem is setting on COM3 under windows- which I
just used to connect now. This is /dev/tts2 with Linux? I get to the
"ppp-go" part, then the only message I get is 'Script Failed', and I
can't hear the modem like I usually do under the other OS.
I'm in the process of switching over from windows to Slackware and I
just don't have the room to dual boot 2 OS's, and don't really want to
either, but I must at least get ppp working first. I have pppd
installed, chat, dialoge- all the things that the HOWTO's and documents
say to get. So far I've had good luck with this, my first Linux install,
but now I think I've hit a wall... any ideas on what I could have
over-looked?
Thanks,
Jay
