Problem with PPP server via mgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

I'm using my linux server as ppp dial-in server with mgetty 1.0.0 with  
pppd 2.2.0. Very nice.

But there is a problem: I can't connect into my linux server from one of  
the five tested Win95/Win98/Linux-Clients.

The logfile /var/log/mgetty.ttyS0 looks normally like this...

> 10/20 14:58:03 yS0   got:  64000 <xxxxxxxxxx>[0d]
> 10/20 14:58:03 yS0    CND: CONNECT 64000 <xxxxxxxxxx>
> 10/20 14:58:03 yS0    CND: found: 64000 <xxxxxxxxxx>[0a] ** found **

> 10/20 14:58:03 yS0    looking for utmp entry... (my PID: 1365)

> 10/20 14:58:06 yS0   input finished with '\r', setting ICRNL ONLCR

...and so on. The pppd starts after that. Fine.

But one (of two) Win98-Clients can't connect. The logfile says...

> 10/21 20:48:52 yS0   getlogname (AUTO_PPP), read:~}![af][82]} }#}!}!}#} [df][f0]~~}!?[eb][df]~~}![af][82]} }#}!}!}#} [df][f0]~~}!?[eb][df]~~}![af][82]} }#}!}!}#} [df][f0]~~}!?[eb][df]~~}![af][82]} }#}!}!}#} [df][f0]~~}!?[eb][df]~~}![af][82]} }#}!}!}#}

...no pppd, no fun :( There are two many characters after getlogname.

What's this? I have no problem with 4 other Win98/Win95/Linux-Clients, but  
this Win98-Client makes my crazy.

I have to say that this Win98 PC uses the client for microsoft and the  
client for netware too (netware-client as default). But this can not be  
the problem. Or? This PC can connect to internet providers without any  
problem.

Thanx.
Christian.
