Topic: ppp0 not active

[Jens F]

Hi,

I get the following message after my ISDN-card dialded my ISP once:

ppp0 not active.

It looks like e-smith is stopping all services after the first dial in

here is a part of my logfile:

Hi, thanks for your reply - in the beginner forum...

I used a howto of Klaus Mueller, you can find it at http://internet-sicherheit.net/isdn4es-howto.html

But the point is - it does not work for me...

I contacted him and he told me that for the ISDN-Card he is using everything works out fine.

But now by problems step by step:

After installing everythin in the way Mueller describes it I at first get the error message data handler unknown primitive 0X232 ?

In different newsgroups I found out that this message has to do with ISDN using the wrong protocol (X75) instead of HDLC.

To change the protocol somebody wrote that I have to send ATS14=3 to chage the protocol. But upto now I do not know if this is the correct string for my ISDN card.

The ATS string of AVM provided with the card do not seem to work (errors in the log-file, no connect).

So if I use the ATS14=3 after the Reset the ISDN-card seems to dial with the result you see in the log file...

As I am relatively new to linux I have no more idea at the moment
