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'" Jan 6 18:29:15 gtech pppd[798]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0 Jan 6 18:29:16 gtech chat[799]: send (AT^M) Jan 6 18:29:16 gtech chat[799]: expect (OK) Jan 6 18:29:35 gtech chat[799]: ^M Jan 6 18:30:01 gtech chat[799]: alarm Jan 6 18:30:01 gtech chat[799]: Failed Jan 6 18:30:01 gtech pppd[798]: Connect script failed Jan 6 18:30:02 gtech pppd[798]: Exit.
