Yesterday I connected to BTinternet with a dial up modem, but however hard I try I can only use windows and all my work stuff is on the linux partition. I am using Suse 9.1 with a 3Com U.S. Robotics 56K Voice Faxmoden. I try entering the phone No. password and email/username they gave but the moden just dies. Can any one help? Is there a better alternative? Or have I
What program are you using to connect to the internet something like kppp or are you manually configuring ppp? Can you provide any more information, I assume the modem is dialling and negotiating a connection then it is during the ppp handshake(just after the speaker turns off) that the problems are stating? Check the authentication method selected, BT (and most ISPs) use CHAP make sure PAP is not selected. Are there any options to turn on debug? if so turn it on then after the problem either the log will appear or you will need to look at /var/log/syslog or /var/log/ppp/? (not sure what). The command 'tail /var/log/sysylog -n50' will show the last 50 lines of syslog for instance.
