One Method: PPP

[Patrick Newberry]

Trying to get modem to connect:
Back ground: Modem worked fine with Ubuntu for two weeks, then started
dropping line as soon as it connects.
I can get Modem to work with Windows 98 machine. 
Modem is us robotics v92 external / serial
It using info below, it dials, handshakes then disconnects. (obviously,
I've changed id and password)

I did have one question is the parm remotename in the options is wrong
as I assume it should the the name of the isp which is www.pstel.net I
tired removing that parm but it did not seem to have any effect. 


 
started pppconfig
Here is my setting via pppconfig

#
# /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
#
# This is a pap-secrets file to be used with the AUTO_PPP function of
# mgetty. mgetty-0.99 is preconfigured to startup pppd with the login
option
# which will cause pppd to consult /etc/passwd (and /etc/shadow in turn)
# after a user has passed this file. Don't be disturbed therefore by the
fact
# that this file defines logins with any password for users. /etc/passwd
# (again, /etc/shadow, too) will catch passwd mismatches.
#
# This file should block ALL users that should not be able to do
AUTO_PPP.
# AUTO_PPP bypasses the usual login program so it's necessary to list
all
# system userids with regular passwords here.
#
# ATTENTION: The definitions here can allow users to login without a
# password if you don't use the login option of pppd! The mgetty Debian
# package already provides this option; make sure you don't change that.

# INBOUND connections

# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from
/etc/passwd
*	hostname	""	*

# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!
root	hostname	"*"	-
guest	hostname	"*"	-
master	hostname	"*"	-
support	hostname	"*"	-
stats	hostname	"*"	-

# OUTBOUND connections

# Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers
via
# PAP. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you
connect
# to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
# replace password with your password.
# If you have different providers with different passwords then you
better
# remove the following line.

#	*	password


"dontyouwish" * "sorry"
