[Techtalk] Problems with kppp/wvdial

[Sara]

Hi! :)

I'm running Debian unstable and I'm trying to use my
external modem with kppp or wvdial, but I can't get it
to work (I do it as root).

If I start my laptop with a Knoppix CD then I can use
kppp without problems (it's and older version). I've
tried with wvdial and it happened the same as with
kppp: it detects the modem, it appears the command of
dialing but it hangs before starting. Sometimes it
doesn't even  appears that command, only random
characters. 

I've tried to change some parameters
with kppp, I've tried the same wvdial config file I
used  with knoppix and get the modem dialing 
(although it couldn't establish a connection after
that), but I get nothing more that a "click" on the
modem. 

A friend of 
mine is also having the same kind of problems, could
you help me?

Thanks in advance,

Sara
