Yamp ( Yet another modem problem )

[gekko9]

I am running SuSE 9.1 Professional on a compaq pressario 2548 AI.
It has a Hewlett-Packard Corporation 56K AC-Link Smartmodem in it.
I found http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/0...smartlink.html
and followed it precisely.
SuSE finds the modem well every time and loads slamr.
From here ?

ifstatus pppd returns "no configuration found"
same with smpppd
I can start ppp0 with ifup ppp0.
When I run "dial up" from kinternet it gets to "sending ATM" and locks everything. (Power off still works!)

I have looked at all I can think off for now, any little glimmer of hope would be very much appreciated.

Assuming u are on KDE, have u tried KPPP as a dial up tool?? just an opinion...

Thanks Don,

I'll give that a go. I assume that replaces kinternet?
or does it do away with smpppd as well?

I personaly allwase reccomend wvdial for any dialup connection. it is very easyto set up and it has zero bloat. install wvdial and do the following to set it up:

wvdialconf wvdial.conf

That will detect the modem and create a basic config file. you just need to add your username, password and phone number to dial. also edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with username and pass. then just type wvdial to start the connection. ctrl + c to stop it.
