Re: pppd on an old 386: /var/log/messages



Chat is the part (program) that handles the modem init + initialize 
connection, before the actual PPP protocol takes over. It is odd that it works 
for the 586 but not the 386, but here it is. Perhaps the 386 has a 
missing/extra character in some file? Anyway, the fact that your modem 
whistles still does not imply that all is fine, as the logs proves. Perhaps 
the 386 has some IRQ conflict? This can explain why the same software + config 
files behaves differently on different machines.
As someone else has pointed out, having a more detailed log can help you 
observe and isolate the problem more clearly. But even with the current log it 
should be different then the 586 log. Is it?

Using minicom on the 386 and preferably on both the 386 and 586 might be 
instructive.


Here is my /var/log/messages file:
 
pppd[287]: pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
chat[288]: Failed
pppd[287]: Connect script failed
pppd[287]: Exit.
