It seems that you can't talk with remote party.
Have you verified with a manual connection ? Try minicom, issue same commands you see in your log (ATZ, ATS14...)

I think there have been some cases where ISDN cards didn't work with ttyIn.

But, newest 5.1.2 sync ppp should work.

[Kees]

If it helps you any, have a look at some tips for getting lots_of_logfiles on 4.x.x

http://www.blokland.co.uk/Kees/docs/e-smith/debug-modem-howto.htm

But, I think you are making your life very difficult for no reason.
Is there any reason why you do not want to go to 5.x.x. ?
(If you mentioned it before, sorry, I missed it. My ISP seems to have good and bad days, on the bad days they send every email 5 times to make up for the good days, when they forget to forward any..)

i would like to have a technical answer ;o) charlie brady ;o)
Could you explain to me what difference there is ? ( like: the kernel of e-smith 4.1.2 can't use this fonction ..)
NeL

[Filippo Carletti]

ISDN cards work on 4.1.2, 5 and 5.1.2.
On 4 and 5 with async ppp and ttyI, on 5.1.2 with Sync PPP and /dev/ippp.
I upgraded my server all the way from 4 to 5.1.2 and it alsways worked.
But, hisax coming from version 4 (kernel 2.2.16) was a bit more unreliable.

I'd say line problems, but it's rare on isdn.
Your logs show one successful connection with some data exchanged.
Then line goes down.

You could try debugging the ISDN bus.
Put an id in modules.conf
options hisax id=hisax1 type=....
then use these commands:

hisaxctrl 1 0x33ff
hisaxctrl 11 0xf4f
cat /dev/isdnctrl0 > /tmp/ilog

where id is the id you put in modules.conf.

You also have strange messages about mtu (SIOCSIFMTU).
Could you restart from a clear install ?

Hi,

Just reading through this tread on ISDN as  I have exactly the same problems it appears, but with an external TA. Certainly the logs seem to be the same.

I have done some reading and have tried different IP's with similar results.

I thought it might be to do with the protocols - X75/V120/HDLC etc. I have tried to add 'sync' to the pppd options, all with the same result.

I then run a Freeso 0.2.7 (I think, from memory) box with the same TA and voila, at least with the X75 it works like a dream, and the pppd options are the same as esmith. However, it's not so keen with HDLC - I haven't tried hacking the 'sync' into the options.

However, I have another e-smith box, with a different external TA and that connects with HDLC to another provider without problems.

Any ISDN geniuses out there ?

With an external TA you can't use the new sync ppp feature of SME 5.1.2.
It's simply a config problem on TA.
What TA ?
For some zyxel S87.2=1 to use pap auth.

[John Crisp]

Thanks for replying. I will check and advise - I'm not on site at the minute and can't remember.

I am actually using 5.0 Udpate 4 if that's any use.

It's an ELSA Microlink ISDN Internet external TA.

Any thoughts ?

John

[Filippo Carletti]

Elsa has very good reputation.
Could you discover the access server brand on the other side of the connection ?
I'd use HDLC and not X.75.
Have you tried calling a different ISP ?

Hi just been scanning the posts and I read this thread noticing that John Crisp is using a ELSA Microlink ISDN Internet external TA, I have also had the same problem,  In my search for a solution I came to the conclusion that with my limited linux experience I could not solve it with this TA, the only reference to this TA operating under a linux dist. is from suse , now suse uses wvdial to dial and do all the config. This is where my understanding becomes even more blurry, the problem arises where an asyncmap "table/setting/variable" is passed to pppd this particular TA will not accept it, some of the posts I've read on the net suggest using a default/non-specific asyncmap in an /etc/ppp/ioptions I'm not sure where it should go in the e-smith dist. though. (diald.conf ?)


asyncmap 0
default asyncmap


I tried all sorts of init strings and found again the suse site had an apropriate one (AT&F$IBP=HDLCP) but still although it dialed I got a hangup (sighup) in my /var/log/messages -- (asyncmap problem ?)

In the documentation about the revisions of wvdial I did find this paragraph:
"If a modem does not respond on the Init1 String, ATQ0 is sent and then Init1 again. This helped with the ELSA Microlink Internet."

I've not treid : ATQ0"myinitstring" as my new init string though.

As I have said I am a linux newbie really, and this is just a catalog of my attempts at a solution, I realize that what I've stated maybe incorrect and if so please tell me as I'm learning. I hope this information is of use to you all, also the experts on these phorums will be able to tell you where the asyncmap settings above should really go.

If anybody has this TA I would be happy to share my findings, urls, logs attempts etc.

Here are a few URLs which have been of use to me:

An external TA shouldn't pose any problem.
Could you add "debug" to /etc/ppp/options and send some logs (/var/log/messages) ?

[John Crisp]

Hi all. Sorry - I've had a few days out to chill my brain It was getting to me !

This TA happily connects through my current provide with X75. Where it seems to fall down is with HDLCP type connections.

I went and had a look at another e-smith server I run that has a Dynalink TA and the provider it connects to is seems to use HDLCP-PPP from the connect strings logged.

That made me think a bit - it's the same provider that I will be using shortly, so I've got to get this one to go !

OK, reading the full AT command for this TA I notice that the command choice for protocol, AT$IBP shows a default fallthrough of X75 - V120 - HDLCP.

However it does have a setting of HDLCP-PPP

What's the difference with the PPP part ? Is this the magic ingredient ?

At the moment I am running the TA with Freesco - it's a doddle to setup. But the logging is minimal. I will try and have a play using the e-smith box or another linux box during the week and report on success.

Another intriguing point is that with a very basic driver install in windoze (as far as I could see, only an ini or inf file I think) the thing works fine with whoever you like. May have a look in the file and see what AT strings they use in there. I am convinced it's a hardware configuration issue rather than software - after all, I am using happily at the moment, albeit with an X75 connection.

Any thoughts, or am I taking B*ll*cks ? ?
