Networking :: Modem configuration

I have not been able to configure the modem to work with DSL. I followed the pppconfig script and selected, or typed the following;

create...provider
dynamic
CHAT
login info xxxxxxxx@xxx.net
password info xxxxxxxx
user name xxxxxx
password xxxxxx
dial number xxxxxxxxxx
115200
tone dial
detect modem - not detected (no problem, the other linuxes did not detect)
manual select ttyS0 (where my external serial modem is connected)
finished, saving changes

Then using pppdial

Expect (connect)
^M
ATDT replace_with_number
connect
---got it
send
Expect (login; )
115200 ^M
No carrier
failed
connect script failed
exit

There is dialtone and the modem is dialing, but the connection is not being made.
I have been able to connect with other Linux systems using CHAT protocol and with Win98SE using dial-up networking. So the hardware is fine. And it is a hardware serial modem.

White Box System
Mendocino 500 Mhz
120 MB Ram
20 GB HD (8 GB free)
DSL 2.2 CD
Win98SE

Try PAP

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I tried PAP also. It did notwork. I tried various combinations of CHAT, PAP, static and dynamic and still could not get it to work. I have used other configuration tools for dial-up with Linux that seemed easier than pppconfig. It could be I am not familiar with it, but I cannot get it to work. By the way, these were with well known and less well known Linux systems.

Hit post too soon. Maybe I am not familiar with pppconfig or I am doing something wrong, but I have been able to configure dial-up on Linux systems before and on systems that need a lot of manual scripting and driver installation, such as DOS. So, I should be able to get this to work, just need some help to get started in the right direction.

Have you tried the command sudo pon in bash terminal?
