Re: connection



I thought I had replied to an earlier posting of this message, but I can't
seem to find the reply if I wrote one. Oh well ...

Sig 15 is SIGTERM ("man 7 signal" for details), the signal for a
more-or-less normal termination. In this case, it probably means that pppd
is timing ouy, that is, giving up after getting no response (or no response
it can interpret) from the other end of the connection.

Two things to do:

1. Run pppd with the options "debug" and "kdebug 0" included. This will
increase the amount of information that is logged, probably giving you (or
us, if you post it) enough information to have a shot at identifying the
specific problem.

2. Use minicom or a similar program to make a shell connection to the ISP.
This will let you see what prompts come to the screen prior to the start of
PPP at the ISP end. Your problem may be an authentication failure in the
chatscript that precedes the start of pppd (that is, it may need to provide
a userid and password), and this will attempt alert you to it.

In any case, this is almost surely not a Linux problem as such. Successful
ppp connections ALWAYS require some knowledge of how the ISP is doing ppp,
especially ppp authentication -- there are 3 main ways: userid/password,
PAP, and CHAP -- to succeed.
