Not geeting login prompt when try to connect to a network server(using External modem).

Hi
I have just configured a new us robotics modem to our hp-9000(Unix 11.0).

I need to dial into some other network server
(Out of our network).
login to a server on that network and ftp some of the files on a routine basis.



I did this using dialup networking in windows 95.(

I was given a phoneno ,loginid and the password for the network(Network server(Unix 11.0).
And the login and the password for the server at the connected network.

I can login to another network using windows dial up networking.
And then I am using Reflection ftp to logon to the server on that network and ftp the files.
)

Now!!!
Form unix i am trying to use C-kermit to dial in to the network server.
I have already created the device file for the modem
Set up the modem
Set up the line
Set up the speed
And trying to dial in using Dial command of C-kermit.

It goes through and get connected.

But i am not getting the proper login after connection succeeded

it comes with a prompt after connection?
something like this...(dnas9-1-28.ptn)

If i presume this is a login and enter the login name for the network, which i was using with the windows dialup networking.
it prompt me for password
even if i give the right password
It says Authentication failure..

Any help in this matter will be highly appreciated..

Thanks

Re: Not geeting login prompt when try to connect to a network server(using External modem).

Dial-up networking is not a terminal login, it is most likely a PPP style connection. C-kermit simply takes your keystrokes and sends them to the remote computer. However, the remote computer expects a long sequence of handshakes, just like a LAN connection.

Once the protocol is handled, the login and password are then sent to the remote system and once validated, the connection becomes a LAN connection via modem.

You'll need something like PPP setup on your system--it's not simple to setup.

Why not use Kermit which has facilities for file transfer?

The following HP technical documents details step by step how to setup ppp on HP-UX 10.30 and later:
