Hi All;

Iam running RedHat 6.2. Iam trying to follow the how-to to connect to
the internet.

My modem is on com3 (/dev/ttyS2), but it seems not to work.

Here is what I have;

>/etc/syslog.conf  
>local2.*                                /var/log/ppp 
>daemon.*                                /var/log/ppp

killall -1 syslogd 

>/etc/resolv.conf  
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 230.48.5.1 

>/etc/host.conf 
order hosts, bind 
>chmod a+r /etc/resolv.conf /etc/host.conf 

>/usr/sbin/pppd 
I get a line of garbage which repeats about 10 times and then the
command exits.

>/etc/ppp/options
lock 
crtscts 
defaultroute 

chmod a+rwx /dev/ttyS2

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS2 57600 debug user username connect
"/usr/sbin/chat -v '' AT OK ATDT85534300 CONNECT '\d\c'"
