Thanks to all who replied, for somereason, changing the cable allows it to work under kppp. I can now log into my isp and get an ip connection. but I can't get anywhere else as I think my default route and my DNS isn't configured right. Wont resolve names and pings don't work for any address other than the other end of my ppp link.
I have a 3com ethernet card in the machine as well which has an IP address of 10.10.10.2 this is configured at bootup with a default gateway of 10.10.10.1. how do I change it all to work with PPP?
Thanks

well I got a ELSA 56K Internet external modem and it works fine dialing on NTLWorld free service.I use kppp, pap auth.I dont know what UKLinux.net uses but check your modem cable.Some have 4 wires some have 2. Mine wouldn't work on the one with 4 wires and kppp used to start dialing and then die with no-dial tone detected.

All,
Before I get to the problem I am having I should really introduce my self. I am a 18 year old C programmer from Ipswich presently working for a telco in the area. I have been using linux for a while now, Redhat >5.2 + SUSE >6 at work. With suse 6.1, Tomsrbt and small linux at home.
Up until now I have had no need to get ppp working, I did try a few months ago to get ppp working using kppp but found that the modem I was using needed a large driver (micro$oft windows). I recently aquired a 28.8 external modem which I have connected to one of my home PC's which is running Peanut linux. I have spent all evening trying to get ppp working and have failed. What I have done is this -
- using O'reilly's TCP/IP network admin book I have
tried
- DIP using a small script as suggested in the
book.
gets to a login prompt but wont get anyfurther
pppd with chat script, dials in then drops out
Kppp, initiases modem then drops out trying to
dail.
All this is done using the uklinux.net ISP.
If any one can help I would be very Apprecitive. The machine is a amd k6 2/ 200 with 32MB ram duel boot with win95, 3 HD and a haupage TV card* + all the usual refinements.
Thanks

Linux I would be interested.
