The machine has to run ppp for this line. Here's what I've done: made the /etc/ppp/options file: crtscts defaultroute lock passive I've set up the modem for a two-wire leased line and async operation. But when the system boots pppd is started and I can see the DTR-light on the modem. The modem goes off hook and sends the handshake. But then I see the TXD-light flash and the modem goes on hook imediately. After appr. 15 secs it goes off hook again and handshakes but then again: TXD and on-hook. After three times the modem tries again and goes on handshaking. But now no more TXD lights, and so it doesn't go on-hook again. Great, not? no NOT! I get the message from pppd: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests. My question is: how can I configure pppd for leased-line operation. I've read all the docs but don't seem to get it. I don't want any timeouts with the requests: just keep trying!! It's a leased line it will connect eventually (i hope :-) If anyone knows how to configure pppd for leased-line or have any experience with this please let me know!! Bye!
