[ltp] R51 Suse Modem

[ibert]

Hi!

I'm new to this list. I work with a Thinkpad R51 with Suse 9.1

I have big problems getting the modem running.

SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.16 on think.
Status is: disconnected
trying to connect to smpppd
connect to smpppd
Status is: disconnected
Status is: connecting
pppd[0]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded.
pppd[0]: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
pppd[0]: --> Initializing modem.
pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATM1
pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATQ0
pppd[0]: --> Re-Sending: ATM1
pppd[0]: --> Modem not responding.
pppd[0]: Connect script failed
Status is: disconnected
pppd[0] died: Connect script failed (exit code 8)

Anybody else had this problem, and maybe solved?

thanks
Robert
