The new pppd uses different options

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0

Symptom:

You cannot connect to your ISP with the modem anymore, your attemps to connect fail.

Reason:

The new pppd for modem uses different options and/or notations, such that -ipx-protcol has become simply noipx.

Solution:

There are three possible solutions:
  1. Instead of SuSEppp you should use WVDial. This package can be found in series N.
  2. The script with the ending .options in the /etc/suseppp directory is used and all options which are no longer supported man pppd are removed. Please notice that the format for assigning parameters has changed and no longer uses an equals sign.
  3. The following link contains the script in the new format: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/n1
