I am using the internal modem on a Power Mac 6500. I got it working
with Kppp, and was able to use Kppp to help figure some things out.
Here is an old piece of mail. If you are still stuck, ask again.
One thing if interest is to know if you are talking to the modem and
actually dialing. You could figure this out by calling a second phone
in your house and seeing if it rings.
If you get to the point where you dial, and connect to an ISP, then
the next step it to write a small login script. I had initially
assumed that this stuff would "just work", but that is not true. How
you log into each ISP and start ppp can differ. Once each of you
starts a ppp, they can talk and figure out the rest.

Subject: Re: having modem probs as well
I was able to get Kppp to work "out of the box" (i.e. after my install
of CS 1.1).
It took me some work to figure out what to do. I read some kppp
documentation, some ppp stuff in general, some modem stuff. In the
end, I didn't have to do much.
I am using a 6500 with an internal modem. Here are my settings in Kppp:
Device
Modem device: /dev/ttyS0
rest as default
Modem:
Modem Commands: as default
Query Modem: -- this command works for me and returns 8 lines of
data. My first line says: ATI: Apple/GV 56K
Terminal: Use this to talk to the modem to screw around and try
things. Especially, try calling your ISP "by hand" and login to see
what the login strings look like. Do a ATDTxxxxxxxxx where the x's
are the phone number.
Note if, when connected, the ISP automatically asks for a login or
if you have to hit return first. Login and give a password. Your
ISP will probably start up a "ppp" at their end which is all the
binary garbage.
PPP: as default
Graph: as default
Accounts: I created a new one called TIAC for my ISP. Its settings
were as follows:
Dial:
Connection name: TIAC
Phone number: *70,9273600
Authentication: Scrip-based
rest: default
IP: Dynamic IP Address
DNS:
Domain name; tiac.net
DNS IP Address: I entered two addresses here
199.0.65.2
199.0.65.9
Gateway: default
Login script: This was the *key* to the whole thing. My script is as follows:
Expect Login:
ID
Expect Password:
Password
Expect MTU is
Note the "MTU is " string is the last that is printed out in my
terminal session before I start getting all the binary garbage.
Good luck. Feel free to e-mail me.
