You can use the option silent so that pppd does not send any LCP packets to=

initiate the connection, until the ISP has sent first a valid LCP packet.

I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here!  wvdial shows that you have a V=
34=20
modem, when BellSouth's website talks about how to configure V90 and V92. =
=20
Could it be that you need something <aheam!> more modern?  As far as I can=
=20
figure they say that you should have correction control and compression=20
enabled on your modem.  Can yours do that?

Not withstanding the above, your modem only sends packets but seems to rece=
ive=20
nothing back from your ISP.  Have you changed the serial port, or the seria=
l=20
cable, or the serial connector/adaptor to the modem?  If you have by mistak=
e=20
used a null modem as opposed to a straight through RS-232 serial cable the=
=20
connection is unlikely to work (properly).

Do you have another modem to try it with?  My ISP connection problems were=
=20
isolated down to the specific modem (which was a winmodem anyway).  When I=
=20
tried with a different modem (still softmodem but with a V.92 std) the=20
telephone numbers worked fine.

If none of the above works then I am at a loss.  It'll be down to using=20
minicom and building scripts to troubleshoot the connection one step at a=20
time . . . may be easier to get a better modem?

Good luck.
