I can query the modem successfully using kppp, a= nd=20 it responds to ATI initialisation commands, so now I am trying to understan= d=20 what is wrong with it and why the connection does not complete. ifconfig -a does not show rfcomm0, but this may be because it never complet= es=20 the connection to my mobile phone provider's network, so the ppp link is no= t=20 established. I can see that the rfcomm device is being created: # ls -la /dev/rfcomm* crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 216, 0 Nov 17 15:51 /dev/rfcomm0 and it does try to connect until it freezes showing "Modem Ready", but I am= =20 getting no more errors to know what to do next. I was thinking that this may be related to the udev NIC renaming change tha= t=20 happened within the last year. However, I never had any udev rules to mana= ge=20 rfcomm and from what I recall vaguely when the udev update came, I had no=20 problem connecting (but memory may be failing me after all this time). It= =20 could of course be related to my mobile phone providers settings - I haven'= t=20 changed these for a long time and looking on the Internet I can't find if t= hey=20 are any different now. How should I troubleshoot this further? Could someone please hold my hand to set up ppp so that I can avoid kppp an= d=20 its freezing behaviour? =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1413094.oPZIxnYqN7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJSiQ8aAAoJELAdA+zwE4Ye7IEIAJAfnZbJKlh+9FfTqmDTIEcU MToZ98hqvok1V9IAhxZkBa2GrOTdKnuBU0T2WgXflzIDFJhoPRYfdOyzQ9beLn0o WYNk7kLFBv0RdsHEufkSejZZI79MJvFy2nN7I+EGZtJwff08jsX3G75tcsRrUQzi 8hk/nLBBQ6XdI/M3PVGYlcxn0rhcNePDQPxaFwTpbCKRQTpRJtYA+Oks9ZhWxgnh H4gn7CkgwhUrJsSLhm1f6kGYbzA3KjzXxX19Fc1EjRhQrVMCCR8+ruF204n/zfoS BRWAtBs9Wk0hFyiLnlUnPcYZpCYYV4ORrnab71J2lkskL+q28ZrbZWDe7B9gfpI= =5hst -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1413094.oPZIxnYqN7--
