Hi,
I'm trying to set up PPP (PAP auth) following the
directions in the on-line manual (verbatim), and have
reached an impasse. I hope someone can help me figure
out what's going wrong. I'm using a Toshiba Tecra 8000
laptop with an IBM 56k PC card modem.
Below is a copy of what /var/log/messages says when
I try to connect. In addition, among the output that
comes out in the tty where I'm running pppd, I see the
line below which says "ppp output" and is followed by
a long string of what looks like hex. This is repeated 8
times, and then "last message repeated 8 times" (somewhat
disturbing in the output below is that the "last message
repeated 8 times" log message is dated 10 minutes earlier
than the rest. I can't imagine what could cause this
other than a software bug.)
Please help :-}
Dave
