[aclug-L] PPP Help....

[Bob Deep <bobd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok... I'm sorta lost here..

I've done many PPP connections before, but I'm having lotsa troubble
with this one...I cannot seem to get ppp to even talk to the
destination... How can we see more information?

First, the command line:

exec /usr/sbin/pppd lock modem crtscts /dev/ttyS1 38400 \
        debug kdebug 7  \
        $LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP \
        netmask $NETMASK connect $DIALER_SCRIPT 

I've got the dialer script working, the rest of the paramaters seem to
be right (local ip and remote Ip are both 0.0.0.0, and the netmask is
255.255.255.0 incase you wanted to know).  For some reason I'm not
seeing any helpful information in this log...  Does this mean that the
other end is not talking or what?

Looking at the system messages I get the following information:
