I'm trying to connect to my ISP using the Zonet ZCF-5610 compact flash modem card on my SL-5500. It will recognize the card, dial the ISP, then hang in "authenticating" mode. Is there a conf script I need to modify? Can connect to this ISP fine using Linux on desktop.

I'd be tempted to see what kind of authentication your Z is trying to use, and what your ISP wants (PAP or CHAP), also, compare the scripts on the Z and on your Linux box - I had the very same problem with my uni dialup.
Eventually I tracked it down to the Z sending a line feed or the such at the end of the chat script meaning that the ppp comms never started at the other end (instead a login prompt was sent). To fix this I did the following: In the file in /etc/ppp/peers/ there is a line which goes: connect '/usr/sbin/chat .... CONNECT' I changed this to: connect '/usr/sbin/chat .... CONNECT "~" ' Note that the space after the "~" is needed!! By way of explanation, the ~ symbol is always the first thing to be sent in a ppp connection. So this change makes the Z wait for the ppp connection to start, then sends nothing back (the space). Hope this helps, Si |
