Childs) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.misc Subject: Problems getting PPP to work. Date: 06 Oct 1995 21:19:50 -0400 Organization: Interramp Lines: 22 Message-ID: <87loqyccp5.fsf@scrub.interramp.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ip78.new-york.ny.interramp.com X-Newsreader: (ding) Gnus v0.91.1 I've had absolutely no problems getting pppd to work correctly with my ISP, but I can't for the life of me get iij ppp working. Whenever I try to connect, the modem dials, the handshake succeeds, and ppp does absolutely nothing. Eventually the remote side drops the line. It's a stab in the dark, but I think it might have something to do with the fact that my ISP requires a PASSIVE connection. I know the program allows you to configure a passive connection, but I'm not convinced it's supported. Has anyone else been able to create a passive connection? Or, is there something I am overlooking. Thanks, Brian -- Brian Childs Muller Data Corp pp000039@interramp.com bchilds@muller.com
