Short answer: You haven't started the PPP software on the peer system.
See a posting from Al Longyear on http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=184945314 for a more detailed explanation.
If you see the following lines you've probably just received a timeout error from kppp, too. kppp has been waiting for the PPP interface to come up and gave up after the specified timeout. pppd was signaled to shut down with signal number 15, i.e. SIGTERM.
pppd[26921]: pppd 2.3.5 started by me, uid 500 pppd[26921]: Using interface ppp0 pppd[26921]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0 pppd[26921]: Terminating on signal 15. pppd[26921]: Connection terminated. pppd[26921]: Exit. |
The PPP daemon is alarmed by the fact that all data it receives has bit 8 set to zero. In most cases this simply indicates that the remote PPP server isn't running yet. You might be still confronted with a login prompt that echoes back all data sent by your pppd.
Do you get the following messages ?
modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21 modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26 modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24 |
Just add the lines
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate |
