The pppd wont connect and i dont know whats up? Why does this happen on linux? I have tryed script based, And teerminal based and stuff nothing will get pppd to connect what is the matter?
My linmodem is an hfr conextance softdriver which goes with my win modem...and my linux picks up the modem is there.

But it wont connect...Any ideas, Thanks.

The fact that Linux appears to "pick up the modem" does not mean it atually enables it. I had that problem with a Hayes Modem (Lucent chip) that RH 8 would pick up BUT could not make it work, regardless of RH having "support for all Hayes modems" (as stipulated by them). Problem was, the Hayes modem I had was a WinModem unbeknownst to me.
Have you check if yours is actually a winmodem? Also, try querying the modem via KPPP. If you see the modem in your hardware , appears to be configured and KPPP can not query it, most likely driver is not correct (due to winmodem, or wrong driver, etc)

Try giving wvdial a go...if not send hayes
commands directly to the com port (you said
that linux sees your modem...right?), eg:
atz
OK
atdt 12345678
you should hear your modem dial.

Ok I query my modem and the response i get is.

atz
OK

....

I dont get the atdt (number).

When i see the terminal status window thing it says error 15 or something like that after it calls my user name..I dont see any status on password authentication.

Is there a way i can find out if my modem is a win modem without opening my box?

Try looking through the output from
pcidump, pnpdump and pcidata...whatever you
have installed (you may need to be root).
Also looking through /proc/pci may help.

You can also get info with the ati hayes
command, here is an example from a modem
here at work:

atz
OK
ate1 (this turns on echo so you can see what you are typing)
OK
ati
56000
ati1
A97/C258
ati3
PCtel HSP56 MR 2.30-9K
ati5
V.90

Try going through all the numbers from 1
upwards until you find something you can
type into google.

atz
OK
ate1 (this turns on echo so you can see what you are typing)
OK
ati
56000

Ok i done this, and it comes up wuth the ate1.....

Maybe its the driver i download, like i downloaded one off linmodems but i had buy it so i got the trial version with slow speed one..maybe if my connection speed is too great eg 57240kb into a 56k modem wont work. It works iwth windows modem, but maybe not with linux.

Try "ati3"...that should give you the make.
best way though is to take the lid off the
machine and search for the chip numbers.

I've never played around with winmodems and
their drivers. If you downloaded a driver
then you must know the make/model in order
to get the corect one!

Ok i found my modem stuff by using a program and it came up with all my stuff.

This is my modem ... :-

PCI CONFIGURATION INFORMATION READ:
Vendor Id = 14F1
Device Id = 2F00
SubVendor Id = 155D
SubDevice Id = 8D8B
Revision Id = 01

DEDUCED INFORMATION :
Vendor Name = CONEXANT
Device Name = HSF CHURCHILL
SubVendor Name = MAC OR LEGEND
Modem Type = HSF
WinXp InBuild Support = YES

Then I used this program and i got my Winmodem Kurnel number and i download a linmodem which runs on this setting with my conexant modem.

Now When i installed it said bad signiture but i doubt that has anything to do with the performance of the driver it self.

THE MODEMS BUILD NUMBER = 2600.

With this information , You Someone may know what type of settings i need my modem set on...Because it seems to connect and stuff, but when it says PPPD starting, it just times out after 60 seconds and redials.

Maybe this information may help...
