Date: 11 Apr 96 11:00:33 GMT Organization: Monash University Lines: 50 Message-ID: <wally.829220433@sirwal> NNTP-Posting-Host: sirwal.mmcc.monash.edu.au X-NNTP-Posting-User: wally X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #1 (NOV) Hi all, I'm running NetBSD 1.1 on a Pentium based machine. I'm experiencing difficulties however, with configuring and running pppd and chat. If anyone has any ideas then I'd really appreciate it. The thing is that I am almost 100% certain that I haven't done any booboos. The modem sits on /dev/tty01, and when I try and run pppd, the DTR light of the modem goes on, yet no actual data seems to get sent. Earlier, I was unable to even run "stty -a < /dev/tty01", until a person on IRC suggested that I put the following line in my /etc/ttys: tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" unknown off secure local I can now do this, but it still doesn't seem to help my problem. I have also typed stty speed 38400 < /dev/tty01, but whenever I type stty < /dev/tty01, I still get 9600. Minicom runs fine with no problems whatsoever, so I do not believe it to be a modem related problem. Here is the line that I use to call pppd: /usr/sbin/pppd connect 'chat -v -f /home/wally/ppp/chatscript -r /home/wally/ppp/report' /dev/tty01 57600 -d mru 296 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx escape 17,19 netmask 255.255.255.0 proxyarp modem crtscts -detach And here is my chatscript: ATZ\r OK ATDTXXXXXXXXX CONNECT TIMEOUT 10 ogin:--ogin: ppp TIMEOUT 5 assword: XXXXXXXXX [The X's have been used to blank out semi important information.]. Any help with this would be gratefully appreciated. I have successfully dropped a getty onto the line as well with no problems, and while dialled into the line I can run pppd successfully. The problem seems to me to be really bizarre, and really confusing. Thanks. Christian. -- Christian Wilson, Monash University. Ph: (03) 9550 1383 (BH-Sometimes), (03) 9543 1991 (AH).
