- Like a lot of you, I too have had problems with getting the dialer in
- ppp1_30.lha to work.
-
- I have suspect the problem is to do with "serial.device" itself. It would
- appear that when something opens the serial.device with a certain setting
- it is locked that way. The thing I blame is the prefences tool -- Serial.
-
- As an example, I tried to get ppp0.config to dial using "serial.device" at
- 19200bps, and then repeated the exercise at a speed of 38400bps.
-
- The dialscript contained:
- send "ATZ"
- wait "OK"
- all I wanted was a response from the modem.
-
- At no time could I get a response from the modem. However, when I loaded
- up my terminal program, I had no problems. This would be because the
- terminal program steals the "serial.device" away from whatever it is that
- has it. This is something that the PPP1_30 dialer cannot do (at least I am
- not aware that it can).
-
- So I changed to a replacement for the serial device -- 8n1.device -- and
- retried whithout any problems whatsoever. I have also tried artser.device
- with no success either.
-
- Regards to all.
