not without seeing the logs. You got them? What do you use to dial?

The log for us robotics modem show pppd:starting link pppd:connect script failed switch modems to zoom modem log show pppd:starting link pppd:serial connection established

I use ppp to dial the other modem works so I'm just curious.

pppd does not dial, it uses a dialler or chat script to establish the connection, then takes over after the modems are connected and you have been authenticated, or if pppd is handling the authentication, it will take over after the dial-up connection has been established.


So when pppd says the connect script failed, it means just that. Whatever process is used to dial your ISP is failing with that modem. I'm thinking it's simply an initialization string command one modem accepts and the other doesn't.

I need to see the connect script/chat script/dialler logs before I can see why.

Please find out what mechanism you are dialling with first.

Regards,
Ed.
