[ILUG] KPPP and IOL

[Tom Mackey]

Hi,
I am having problems with KPPP trying to connect to IOL.

KPPP dials IOL which connects and responds 499330/ARQ
Then KPPP says starting pppd  and logging into network.  About 10 seconds
later I get the error message that the pppd daemon died unexpectedly on
error code 16.  The manpage for pppd says that 16 is a modem hangup.

The debug output from pppd is as follows:

Jul  9 20:52:07 Linbox pppd[3171]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
Jul  9 20:52:07 Linbox pppd[3171]: Using interface ppp0
Jul  9 20:52:07 Linbox pppd[3171]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/tts/1
Jul  9 20:52:15 Linbox pppd[3171]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Jul  9 20:52:15 Linbox pppd[3171]: Modem hangup
Jul  9 20:52:15 Linbox pppd[3171]: Connection terminated.
Jul  9 20:52:15 Linbox pppd[3171]: Exit.

I am using pap authorisation and have default route ticked in the KPPP
setup.
( I also have name and password in their boxes)
the output of route -n is as follows:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric     Ref

192.168.42.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0

0        lo

I have "googled" but failed to find an answer.   Finally hope the above is
readable as I am back to outlook express until I get my Linux box sorted on
dial up!
