Hello All,

I am using redhat 8.0. I have ZyXel omini.net plus ISDN TA modem. I am trying to configure it using wvdial. When i try to connect it seems connect but in some seconds it disconnects automatically.

Can any one help in this regard?

I don't have GUI. pl. suggest command base options only.

Regards,
Pralay

Try this

Detecting a Modem & Configuring the Modem for LINUX Redhat
To update the Linuxconf, run all the required rpm?s from the provided CD.
At the Linux Prompt (Represented as # in this session)
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
(This will detect the Modem if available as ttyS0 for Com1, ttyS1 for Com2)
To check weather the modem has been detected
# more /etc/wvdial.conf
* Note the port that has been detected (assuming its detected ttyS1)
# Linuxconf
? Go to Peripherals under which MODEM option is available, Click enter,
Choose ttyS1 (from step *)
? Click Client task & choose PPP/SLIP/PLIP click Add (o) PPP choose
accept & enter
? Add all the required fields?. (Enable the required check boxes & the ISP
phone number that You dial to connect to the internet etc) also verify the
modem that is detected, (If it is an ISDN modem change the AT command,
if Internal use the GUI based ISDN conf that is available.)
To start the dial from the command prompt
# ifup ppp0
To check weather the connection to the Internet is active, opening another terminal
using Alt+F2 login & type the command (Can have four terminals with Alt & F1,
F2, F3, F4)
# tail ?f /var/log/messages
To disconnect the modem type the command
# ifdown ppp0
