This indicates that you have set it up to use link control protocol (LCP)=20 which is the first part of establishing a PPP link, but BellSouth may be=20 using CHAP? > We have caller ID here and it works fine.

No worky. :-( I assume that you have tried out the different authentication methods in kp= pp=20 (pap/chap and what not). Not sure if the use of tcpdump and, or wireshark= =20 would show anything particularly revealing here? This would be more=20 meaningful if you compare with a dial up number that actually works. =46rom what I understand BellSouth use 'TCP header compression' which I bel= ieve=20 requires the vj-max-slots option enabled in pppd, but don't know for sure=20 what the number should be, if this is enabled by default, etc. (you could t= ry=20 from 2 to 16 and see what gives). Additionally, a chat with the ISPs' sysadmin might help (if need be with=20 giving you a login script). If their system works with OSX which I believe= =20 it does, it would probably work with Linux too. =20 =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart11360391.jlJQrzhleu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGYCX15Fp0QerLYPcRAg1DAJ0XGhIg6saWd9Xh3e/WcOxbm9x1QQCgnWHA 8zEjh0fZQmJAZajcvUI0+lY= =3JkR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart11360391.jlJQrzhleu-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
