Yamaha RTA 50i Router Problems

["junkyard boyoy" <clan_bd2@example.com>]

My Yamaha RTA 50i Router doesn't seem to work under RedHat Linux 7.0.  I 
could get it to work thru my ethernet connection, but the serial connection 
doesn't work.  The following is a log of what I got from RPHPPP under GNOME:

======================================

WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41
Initializing modem.
Sending: ATZ


OK

Modem initialized.
Sending: ATDT 03-5201-6800

Waiting for carrier.


CONNECT 64000

Carrier detected.  Starting PPP immediately.
Starting pppd at Thu May 10 04:53:53 2001
PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 0)
Disconnecting at Thu May 10 04:53:58 2001
Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
pppd error!  Look for an explanation in /var/log/messages.

======================================

Also, when I checked /var/log/messages, I found this:

======================================

May 10 05:00:20 KORD pppd[3387]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
May 10 05:00:20 KORD pppd[3387]: Using interface ppp8

the drive.

May 10 05:00:23 KORD pppd[3387]: Exit.
May 10 05:00:23 KORD kernel: Device not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in 
the drive.

======================================

The messages also had the following:

======================================

May 10 04:52:03 KORD ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/ttyS0 at 115200
May 10 04:52:03 KORD pppd[3084]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0

May 10 04:53:03 KORD WvDial: Waiting for carrier.
May 10 04:53:03 KORD WvDial: NO CARRIER
May 10 04:53:03 KORD WvDial: No Carrier!  Trying again.
May 10 04:53:04 KORD kernel: Device not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in 
the drive.

======================================

I have no clue as to what this means.  It seems like the /dev/ttySO device 
isn't pointing to my router.  But, this is the only "modem-like" device I 
have attached to my computer.  Also, my IP address doesn't seem to be 
correct (neither does the remote IP seem to be correct).  Any advice is 
appreciated!  Thanks!
