Greetings All,
I'm having trouble setting up my box to dialup my ISP via PPP. I've read the
Basic Networking docs at netbsd.org and more or less followed the
instructions.
Here are the specifics of my modem & ISP:
ISP:
chat authentication
hardware flow control ok
data compression ok
dynamically assigned IP addresses
dialups at 56k, 33.6 & 28.8 supported
Modem: (USR external Sportster 28.8 - v.34/v.32 bis)
dip settings: Linux=3,5,8 down ; Unix=3,7,8 down (this setting causes "AA"
to stay lit)
ATZ = initialization via "modem station" program
AT&F1 = " for fixed serial port rate
AT&F2 = " for software flow control
modem is on COM2 (=ttys1 ???)
Currently I've just got the base system installed and have constructed the
following pppd=related files:
/etc/ppp/peers/myisp
/dev/ttys1
noipdefault
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/myisp.chat'
persist
ipparam myisp
asyncmap 0
noauth
/etc/ppp/peers/options.ttys1
lock
crtscts
38400
modem
/etc/ppp/peers/myisp.chat
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ""
\da\ptz0 OK
\da\ptdt7708071 CONNECT
ogin: <my account name>
asswd: <my password>
When I type "pppd call myisp" I get
chat[338]: Failed
pppd[336]: Connect script failed
I'm sure I'm missing some things like DNS addresses and debugging but I
assumed anything else would have been mentioned in the Networking Basics
HowTo.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
