From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I am trying to set up a PPP for dial in from remote sites. The plan is to dial directly to a modem, with mgetty monitoring the port. The modem will pick up, user will login and as part of the user set up, a script will be run that will automatically start pppd. Right now the connection dies after about 30 seconds because the modem will hang up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.dial in from remote laptop running Windows 98, using Hyperterminal. 2.Enter username and password at the prompt 3.pppd will start, then the connection will die after 30 seconds. Actual Results: Modem will pick up successfully, connection is established. pppd will start, but die out after 30 seconds. Expected Results: Have the pppd connection stay up, and also have the PPP server assign the remote laptop an IP address for network access. Additional info: I have the capture from the /var/log/messages: Nov 13 09:02:01 localhost mgetty[1047]: data dev=ttyS0, pid=1047, caller='none', conn='28800/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/bin/login', user='ppp' Nov 13 09:02:05 localhost login(pam_unix)[1047]: session opened for user ppp by LOGIN(uid=0) Nov 13 09:02:05 localhost login -- ppp[1047]: DIALUP AT ttyS0 BY ppp Nov 13 09:02:05 localhost login -- ppp[1047]: LOGIN ON ttyS0 BY ppp Nov 13 09:02:06 localhost kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California Nov 13 09:02:06 localhost kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.1 Nov 13 09:02:06 localhost pppd[1388]: pppd 2.4.1 started by ppp, uid 501 Nov 13 09:02:06 localhost pppd[1388]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 13 09:02:06 localhost pppd[1388]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0 Nov 13 09:02:36 localhost pppd[1388]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Nov 13 09:02:36 localhost pppd[1388]: Connection terminated.
