Greeting all,

I have mulled over numerous documents available for

setting up a winmodem in Linux. I discovered the winmodem I

have

(PCTel HSP56) is one of only a few with support. With the

most

extreme caution I managed compile and load the necessary

module.

Using kppp, I am able dialup but upon connect the daemon

will

"unexpectantly die". What can I do to learn more about

how/why

the daemon dies?

Greg,

Need a bit more information, specifically what happens when it dies.

Next time you run kppp to connect to your ISP, let it go through the procedure and failure.

Then copy the last 20 or so lines of your log and post it here. That will give us a look and hopefully some ideas. To look at the last 20 or so lines of your log:

tail -20 /usr/var/log/messages

You'll probably have to issue that command as root.

<edit>-----------------------------

Also do the same for /etc/ppp/log

-----------------------------</edit>

Resurection

Billsabub,
The problem has been corrected. The pctel.o module was for
kernel version 2.4.0 not 2.2.16-22. I got the correct mod
pctel_pci.o and it is working perfectly. Thanx for your
support,
farmer greg
