Clive With $ man pppd 2 An error was detected in processing the options given, such as two mutually exclusive options being used. > changes: +MS=34 & +MS=90 gave "bad init string" messages. Just use +MS=NumberValue once as the last item on the line. Re: --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 X3 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 X3 -------------- X3 shouldn't be last. Use: Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 or Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=34 RE: Sending: ATDP0198333713 ATDP is for older pulse dial phone liness, It yours is Touch Tone, use the default ATDT You can also test adding a line Stupid Mode = 1 needed with some Internet Providers.
