Hi, whenever I try to dial my ISP using either kppp (kde's version of ppp)
or the command line ppp, I can never connect or even hear my modem dialing.
I know that my modem is connected to the computer correctly and I know that
the system recognizes my modem. For some reason however, ppp will not work.
I know that the system recognizes my modem because when I activate it
using ppp, the terminal light on it comes on. My modem is a 56k 3com / us
robotics external fax modem. What happens when I activate my modem using
the command line ppp is, after about 10 seconds or so, I get a message
saying "Chat Script Failed" when I activate my modem using kppp, it tells
me that the modem is not responding. Now I know that my modem is on the
right port number (it is on cuaa0) because the terminal ready light comes
on. So in other words, my computer can send commands to my modem but for
some reason, my modem is not sending anything back (at least thats what I
think is going on). I am thinking this may be an irq problem but then again
I do not know much about irq conflicts or any of that. But, can someone
help me out here because I do not know where to begin on getting ppp to
work.
Below is a copy of my ppp.conf file, I have removed my username and password
for obvious reasons.
