[LUG] modem woes

[Steve Marvell <steve@xxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm

So, I've been given this machine to be an office server and it's got
this ISA (not PnP) modem in it that works fine.

In order to get proper iptables to work, with proper NATting, I
install the 2.4 kernel image.

Now, the modem doesn't want to know.

For testing I use wvdial, before getting pppd working on
demand. wvdial just doesn't spot it at all. Total failure.

So, I just let it run with pppd. That dials fine but hangs up whilst
negotiating (ie. before any authentication).

It does this consistently.

Any ideas?

Steve
