help with mgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a dialin server with RedHat6, mgetty, and a 8 port
digiboard card(PC/8e). Everything seems to be set up right on the digi side,
but when I am trying to test it, I dial in with another redhat6 box and I
get the following error in its log file:

(this is on the redhat 6 machine that is dialing into the mgetty)

ifup-ppp :  pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/modem at 115200
pppd[769]: :pppd 2.3.7 started by root, uid 0
pppd[769]: :Serial connection established
pppd[769]: :Using interface ppp0
pppd[769]: :Connect: ppp0 < -- > /dev/modem
pppd[769]: :LCP : Timeout sending config requests
pppd[769]: :Connection terminated
pppd[769]: :Connect time 1.6 minutes
pppd[769]: :Exit

Its connecting to the server, and establishes the serial connection, brings
up the ppp0 interface, and then gets the error above. During this process I
can go in and check on the dialin server and there is no ppp interface there
in ifconfig, but a "w" shows that i am connected on ttyD0, which is right.

In the log file for ttyD0 I get various messages like:

send : AT&F[0d]
waiting...
checking if modem is still alive
mdm_send : 'AT'
Warning: got alarm signal!
mdm_read_byte: read returned -1 : Interupted system call
mdm_get_line: cannot read byte, return: Interupted system call --> ERROR
modem on ttyD0 dev=ttyD0 doesn't react! Interupted system call

Also I get: huh? Junk on the line?

Or: Found action string "NoCarrier"
Failed A_FAIL dev=ttyD0, pid501 caller=none

I'm kinda a newbie so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in
advance.
