I configure my modem as 38400 and Sowtware Flow Control (XON/XOFF) (really this cellular phone Trium Geo@ via datacable - perfectly work in windows and os/2). Try activate ppp-interface, but modem don't answer. After some exploring network scripts i decide what XON/XOFF not supported by default dialer wvdial (but redhat-config-network GUI set some option in wvdial.conf - FlowControl:). How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Any modem device with Software FlowControl (XON/XOFF). For example cellular phone via simple data-cable (RX/TX) 2. Setup modem and ppp-connection in redhat-config-network 3. Try activate ppp-connection and see system log
FlowControl is not a valid wvdial option, at least not as of wvdial 1.54.0. (I'm looking at the stock source; don't know if Red Hat has patched it.) Instead you must put these options into a /etc/ppp/options file: nocrtscts xonxoff asyncmap a0000 But wvdial also passes "crtscts" on the pppd command line; this is hardcoded. So you must also add the following to a wvdial config file: PPPD Option = nocrtscts This seems to finally disable hardware flow control.
