I am havig troubles using my intel HAM modem. I got the thing installed and its dialing too, the problem is that after dialing the connection fails to establish..it doesnt even go till the username and password verification. Its like there is some thing wrong with the protocol establishment. I am using PPPD for dialing and stuff.
LINUX 8.0 and Modem !!
First of all it's not Linux 8.0, it's RED HAT 8.0. Red Hat is a distribution of applications and stuff that comes with a Linux KERNEL that is actually your OS (it has a version number that resembled 2.4.18-14).
I think you need an entry for 0.0.0.0 which should map to your machine
name in your /etc/hosts file which is required by the PPP daemon.

Thankyou AsadR for that vital piece of information about
mrkkhattak my modems model number is MD5628D C-B and I used the 7.3 drivers as the drivers support 2.4.x.x kernels. The installation is simple just cat the readme.txt file, the make scripts are made so u dont need to do much

. I did make the 0.0.0.0 entry in the /etc/hosts file but the problem presists. It just like times out or something, simply disconnects.RED HAT LINUX 8.0

I agree with u but some of still sit at out home and cant afford an expensive line.
The rest was all greeK...I dont know which log to look into and i configured it using a GUI in RED HAT LINUX 8.0, The Networking Device manager. It was basic stuff..nothing that complicated and the PAP/CHA/ what is that... SO U see extreme guidance required over here..
Bare with me...
Thankz

I suggest you ask someone else using Red Hat 8.0 where the logs are stored. Usually, whenever any application tries to connect, it leaves a trail of logs showing all succesful and unsuccessful operations leading upto a PPP connection.
It's seems to be a typical /etc/hosts entry problem, but if you're sure you've entered the correct line, then it's most probably lack of support for PPP from the kernel (not likely if you're using a default kernel).
oh well
i tried..

beside that ... i am not sure but in Redhat 8.0 if u are using the default (GNOME) ... pls go to system settings, there u would be able to see a syslog gui thing (i am not sure about this, but it is somewhere there )
hope it may help u ... meraj
