Pppd Problem When Connecting With Audiovox Options

[zmiq2]

Hi,

when I try to connect to vodafone using the audiovox rtm 8000, I get myself stuck at the LCP negotiation; during the negotiation, no Rejection nor Nack responses appear, but negotiation doesn't go beyong the first step:



waiting for connect...

ATD*99***1#
CONNECT
Connected.
If the following ppp negotiations fail,
try restarting the phone.

Serial connection established.
using channel 62
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS3

Any hints about proper settings in ppp files will be much appreciated.

If you have files in the following directory named something like the following, then what worked for me on dialup on my sl5500 may work for you. Remember I'm on a Sharp ROM, and I don't know if the syntax or file location may be different for others.

/home/root/Applications/Network/modules/DialUp20.conf

This seems to be a Qtopia Desktop entry, telling the Z what to do.

One of the lines is the connect delay to allow before responding to my modem, and setting it too high was resulting in timeouts for my modem as Z wasn't responding fast enough. I changed the number from something high like the following:

connectdelay = 120000

to the following using vi:

connectdelay = 8000

I would NOT add the above to a file if it isn't already there...'cause if it ain't there, your software isn't set to recognize it. I would just tweak it if your file has a line that looks like the above.

If you use the built in GUI connection wizard, it will reset to original values, and I do not know what those are any more. I had thought a long connect delay was best, and that was totally wrong.

Again, I don't know if this will correlate with your Audiovox issue, but if the machines can't sync with each other smoothly, one of them will give up.

If you are using Qtopia to perform the connection, then this will be relevant. Otherwise, I don't know where or how that connect delay would be coded into the actual kernel files.

EDIT: found it, in my /etc/ppp/peers/filename12346

the line reads:

connect-delay 8000

I don't see a line like that in yours...hmmm
