RE:PPP

Thanx Steven but no luck I am afraid. I added debug to syslog.conf and got that working fine but the messages did not shed any light on my problem.  Just as before. Hangup at IP negotiation.  The speed is the same at 38400.

This is what the last few lines of the debuglog looks like

Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Hangup (SIGHUP)
Modem hangup
Connection terminated.

Looks to me like a hangup at my end but why ????

In syslog.conf add "*.debug 	/var/log/debug"

Restart  syslog (or HUP it!)

add "debug" and maybe "-mn" in your /etc/ppp/options file

(The -mn is not to use magic numbers to detect a loopback in the network)

Make sure that your DTE rate is the same in ppp-on as you were trying when
you tried it with minicom  ie 38400

And you should be right.
