PPP Dial-out on Redhat Linux 6.1 Using ISDN Ex. Modem

[Gopinath_1]

I am facing a problem when setting up a Dial-up connection to my ISP over ISDN Modem on Redhat Linux 6.1 system.

I have tried to configure this using PPP tools such as minicom, rp3, dip, chat, linuconf and wvdial.

Using all this programs i could make a ppp connection with my ISP and it get struck during connecting.

While using, rp3 it doest not dials at all and if i use a option of Debug in the same, it dials but it is not making a PPP connection and throwing me junk characters.

While using wvdial, it dials and does not make a PPP connection and giving the junk characters.

While using minicom, it is also same , i am able to dial and getting connected but not making a PPP connection and junk characters.

If i use dip, i am not getting any response and keep redialing .I could see this from the Modem Leds.

If i use linuxconf to make a ppp connection, it dials and gets connected and says "Peer refused to Authenticate and disconnected".I feel , this is the one atleast gives me some info.

So, if you tell me the step by step procedure to do this PPP dial-out on linux using ISdn External modem.

I would really appreciate the response.

Thanks and expecting the reply soon,

Try with the option 'noauth' in the file options in /etc/ppp.

In early versions of pppd daemon is not necesary this option, but in RedHat 6.1, this option is necesary to connect.

believe it or not, it is probably your modem speed that is causing your failures. lower the speed and try wvdial..it works great.
