tlug: ibm.net with LINUX (Red Hat)

[kenhrd@example.com]

Hi All,

Is anyone succeededly connecting to IBM NET using Linux,
preferably Red Hat?  I think it is a simple PAP connection,
but trial fails every time.  I am using netcfg on Red Hat
4.2, kernel 2.0.34.  The same setting with another PAP
ISP works perfectly.  According to debug log, there is no
response from the server after :

pppd[481]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
pppd[481]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1500> <magic 0xedc58999> <pcomp> <acomp>]

and

pppd[481]: LDP: timeout sending Config-Requests
pppd[481]: Connection terminated.
pppd[481]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:
pppd[481]: Problem: all had even prity
pppd[481]: Exit.

I would appreciate any suggestion.  IBM NET is one of the cheapest
globaly available dial-up ISP, and I would like to setup the connection
for my trips.  What I don't like is that I could smoothly connect to
it by Window$95 dial up network (PAP setting).

Regards,
