Hi,

I've just installed RH 6.0 which uses the KDE PPP connection tool to use the
modem. When I try to dial my ISP, the modem returns a 'no dialtone' error. I
can hear a dialtone though. Having just converted from windows, there is a
setting to force the modem to dial without waiting for the dialtone, so that
was not a problem with the same modem under windows. Is there a similar
setting somewhere in KPPP or is there a scripting I can write for this
modem?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Elwyn

You will want to add X3 to the Modem Initialization String.  In kppp you
do setup and modem and modem commands.  The string is the second one down.
I have to do that with mine.  My string there is AT&FX3

what you are refering to is not a winbloze specific function.  it is a
command in the Hayes control set.

you are able to set these control strings in /etc/pppscript

You can probably fix your modem by sending it ATX3.  Not knowing KPPP, I
can't tell you how to do that, but I would look for an initialization
string you can edit, by adding X3 at the end (it will already begin with
AT).
