It is a good idea, with a new I4B installation that you don't trust, to set up the answerphone first: this takes much less configuration than setting up PPP (and importantly, doesn't require knowledge about how the other end is set up). If you can make a voice call into the answerphone from a normal phone and hear it talking to you, then you know at least that the hardware and local ISDN configuration is working OK. > ppp.log shows the following > > Nov 19 12:18:14 ns2 ppp[126]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connect time: 18 secs: 0 octets in, 175 octets out > Nov 19 12:18:14 ns2 ppp[126]: tun0: Phase: deflink: 0 packets in, 5 packets out > > >From what I can gather, it looks to be failing at the authentication part? No, the two lines that I have quoted above (and all the other stuff, more verbosely), show that your end is sending PPP protocol but getting no reply at all from the other end. It never gets LCP running, so it doesn't get as far as trying to authenticate. You would get this if the machine you are calling does not expect PPP over HDLC as the protocol - some ISPs have different phone numbers for different protocols, for example. Various fault conditions at your end could also cause it, but this is hard to tell. I would recommend setting up the answerphone to check that your local system is working OK; check details of the system you are calling, and get some logging from isdnd (either transcribing from the screen, or put something suitable in syslog.conf such as: !isdnd *.* /var/log/isdnd.log To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
