tlug: Re: ISDN problems

[Lance Cummings <lance@example.com>]

Jonathan,

Nice little interface, xisp.  But unfortunately, I'm no closer than I was
before.  Which authentification protocol should I use?  (Actually, I tried them
all to no apparent effect.)

I can definitely cause the TA to dial -- digitally -- by linking /dev/modem
to /dev/cua1  (a link to cua0 causes the *modem* to dial using analog).  But
I get a no carrier message about 5 seconds into the digital call.  
Specifically, I see:

ATV1 H0
OK
AT DT 5489-8200
NO CARRIER

(This is using xisp.)

To answer your other question, the TA is an NEC Aterm IT65Pro.  And the
manual is a bear for me to read.  ;-))

If in doubt, just use ATZ, but I think the NEC manual has a specific init
string in it somewhere, too.  Which model of NEC is this?

Is the init string in your the script the one for the USR?  If so, I would
definitely recommend against using that with the TA.

If you'd like a nice graphical dialer (looks nicer than the Windows or Mac
ones), check out X-ISP:

Since I'm not doing dial-up access I've never been able to try this, but it
looks like it has a lot of nice features.  It's a frontend to pppd/chat, but
adds a lot more.
