Yup, I do have another modem that is a Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO. It works for my bro but not for me. It doesn't even work with my current ISP. It tries to connect at 115K which is more like a serial port speed.

I had this before it got hit by lightening. http://www.discountsales.com/shop/pub/1153574702_1177517624.htm I am pretty sure it worked too. I know it did for my current ISP but I think I used his ISP a few times too. I'm pretty sure this works with Bell South. Your thoughts??? I may go check with my ISP and see if they have one that is external serial. Maybe cheap too.

Well, that didn't help any.  I also forgot to mention that I do have it
set up on Kppp to use pap/chap.  It doesn't work either.  I don't know

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 not sure but maybe it is something to do with my modem.  I had a
different modem when I used my brothers account a long time ago.  That
is all that has changed on my end.
    

I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here!  wvdial shows that you have a V34 
modem, when BellSouth's website talks about how to configure V90 and V92.  
Could it be that you need something <aheam!> more modern?

Sorry, it is a very old USRobotics V34 Everything modem.  Thing is, I like all the lights.  LOL
As far as I can 
figure they say that you should have correction control and compression 
enabled on your modem.  Can yours do that?

This thing has a ton of options in it.  But I think the above may be the issue we are having.  
Not withstanding the above, your modem only sends packets but seems to receive 
nothing back from your ISP.  Have you changed the serial port, or the serial 
cable, or the serial connector/adaptor to the modem?  If you have by mistake 
used a null modem as opposed to a straight through RS-232 serial cable the 
connection is unlikely to work (properly).

Do you have another modem to try it with?

Yup, I do have another modem that is a Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO.  It works for my bro but not for me.  It doesn't even work with my current ISP.  It tries to connect at 115K which is more like a serial port speed.  It seems to be confused, as am I right now. 
My ISP connection problems were 
isolated down to the specific modem (which was a winmodem anyway).  When I 
tried with a different modem (still softmodem but with a V.92 std) the 
telephone numbers worked fine.

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

Good luck.

This is what I am thinking about getting.  I had this before it got hit by lightening.  http://www.discountsales.com/shop/pub/1153574702_1177517624.htm  I am pretty sure it worked too.  I know it did for my current ISP but I think I used his ISP a few times too.  I'm pretty sure this works with Bell South.  Your thoughts???
