It ends up there was an;<br> <br> .ppprc<br> <br> file in my users home directory. It was an exact copy of the /etc/ppp/options file. I removed it and all worked fine. I can get my user to bring the PPP up and down now, but only from the command line. For some reason it will not work using...

To mount your Win98/NT partition you need to mount it as a vfat drive (I'm assuming you used fat32);<br> <br> mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosa<br> <br> You may need to change the 'hda1' to your actual partion number. The directory 'dosa' must already exist. Just go to 'cd /mnt' then 'mkdir...

I have two boxes with Linux. One has RH 5.2, Pentium 100Mhz and the other is a AMD K2 350Mhz running RH 6.0. The RH 5.2 box will let my user dial out, the RH 6.0 box will not. I compared all of the files and set everything to be exactly the same. I've setup my user with every permision I...

I have two boxes with Linux. One has RH 5.2, Pentium 100Mhz and the other is a AMD K2 350Mhz running RH 6.0. Was commparing files between the two, trying to figure out why the 350Mhz box randomly appears to slow to a crawl, when I noticed something really out of place. The 100Mhz box was...

It is most likley a WinModem. Goto;<br> <br> http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html<br> <br> If it's a WinModem it will not work in DOS.<br> <br> Have Fun :-)<br> Sterling

If this happens even when the computer is off or when booting direcly to a command prompt then the modem has a hardware failure. Since it's only 14.4kbps it's about time to replace it anyway.<br> <br> Have Fun :-)<br> Sterling

&gt;&gt;Besides this fact, it is also a limitation of Linux<br> &gt;&gt;in that Linux does not support the PCI bus. This<br> &gt;&gt;fact is in the Linux documentation.<br> <br> It would be somewhat interesting if they could actually produce such "fact" and "documentation". I'm sure it would be...

For my modem you would use;<br> <br> ATS37=11 <br> <br> for 14,400 or use;<br> <br> ATS37=17<br> <br> for 28,800 or use;<br> <br> ATS37=19<br> <br> for 33,600. This would need to be done after the initialization string or as the last step in the initialization string. Some initialization...

With RH try running; `xf86config' at a command prompt, answer the questions and that will create a XF86Config file to use in next step.<br> <br> Know your monitors Horz & Vert scanning frequency before next step.<br> <br> Now run; `XF86Setup' , use previous config as default, then do all of the...

Two things.<br> First, ensure you have PPP configured.<br> Type `pppd' at the command prompt and see if you get garbage on the screen (it stops after a bit). If you do then go to second step, if not you will need to install PPP and recompile the kernel.<br> <br> Second, I got this from someone...

Try going to;<br> <br> http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html<br> <br> and insure its not a winmodem. Winmodems are not real modems and thus don't work with Linux. For Linux I've always got the best results from external modems.<br> <br> Have Fun :-)<br> Sterling

You need to look in the Modem's manual and find the initialization string to force it to V.34 or V.42 (been awhile since I've done this but check for the manual for the correct protocol for the desired speed). Also on some modems when you do a force speed it will not allow an auto negotiation...

Not knowledgeable about Winmodems, simply never liked them.<br> A Winmodem uses some of the computers CPU resources to simulate what a real modem does with hardware. See if he gets the same results when dialing to anouther computer or to a BBS, at least you'll know which end is the culprit.<br>...

I'll assume that your talking about an ISDN line with a single 'B' channel. Then the answer is you could use either depending on what your wanting to accomplish.<br> <br> If this is going to be a single user only connection the modem route would be more ecconomical.<br> If this is going to...

This appears to be something in either the telco line or the protocols, most likly the protocols. Would need more info to give any suggestions.<br> <br> What OS are you using?<br> What brand of modem?<br> What is the initial connection speed?<br> Are you connecting with PPP or SLIP?<br> <br>...
