[plug] Getting RedHat to connect to the internet (newbie question)

[Josh Heglund]

Hey there

I've recently installed RH7 on my computer and I'm having trouble dialling
up the internet with rp3. It seems to be dialling properly but having
trouble with getting PPP running. Here's a log from the dialer:



-----

reggae-18>Hmm... a prompt.  Sending "ppp".
ppp
Entering PPP mode.
Async interface address is unnumbered (FastEthernet0)
Your IP address is 203.59.80.229. MTU is 1500 bytes

Looks like a welcome message.
Starting pppd at Wed Feb 14 16:13:16 2001
PPP was killed! (signal = 11)
Disconnecting at Wed Feb 14 16:13:16 2001
Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
pppd error!  Look for an explanation in /var/log/messages.

And from /var/log/messages:

Feb 14 16:13:16 localhost kernel: registered device ppp0
Feb 14 16:13:16 localhost pppd[783]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Feb 14 16:13:16 localhost pppd[783]: Using interface ppp0
Feb 14 16:13:16 localhost pppd[783]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS14

Feb 14 16:13:16 localhost kernel: Process pppd (pid: 783, process nr: 52,

I'm using a dodgy lucent winmodem which i seem to have setup correctly.  Now
it's just PPP that's broken.

Any help you can provide would be excellent.

Thanks in advance,

Josh
