I did not see the attachment. Perhaps majordomo did not like it.
This is how a successfull connection (after a failed one) looks in
Holland (probably similar technology):
(from /var/log/messages)
Sep 2 20:08:39 fuchsia pptp[139]:
log[pptp_dispatch_ctrl_packet:pptp_ctrl.c:548]: Client connection
established.
Sep 2 20:08:40 fuchsia pptp[139]:

established (call ID 0, peer's call ID 0).

Since I experienced regular disconnections, I start the adsl
connection over a wrapper script that checks every 10 seconds if the
connection is still up, and reconnects if not. It reads:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/adsl-wrapper ] ; then
echo -n " adsl-connection-starting (please God)"
/usr/local/sbin/adsl-wrapper &
fi
(Put the above in /usr/local/etc/rc.d as adsl.sh and chmod 755 it.)
The wrapper it calls (/usr/local/sbin/adsl-wrapper; also chmod 755
it):
#!/bin/sh
echo $$ > /var/run/adsl-wrapper.pid
while true ; do
/usr/local/sbin/pptp 10.0.0.138 --phone pc1 mxstream
sleep 10
done
You have to adjust, naturally, the part "10.0.0.138 --phone pc1
mxstream" to what Deutsche Telekom wants.
This now works fine for me.
If nothing works, check your /var/log/ppp.log. Problem might be with
ppp. My /etc/ppp.conf is thus:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set authname my-username
set authkey my-password
set timeout 0
set ifaddr 0 0
add default HISADDR
nat enable yes
If you have just one box and do not need NAT, delete last line.
If you want 'them' to do dns, add
enable dns
If nothing works, perhaps try connecting a windows machine? If the
software they provide does not work in windows, it might be the
connection or the other side anyway...
Viel Spass!
Marc
