Problems using ppp on my cell phone

[STeve Andre']

   I just found out that my ppp link via my T-Mobile
phone doesn't work.  Of course I found this out while
being outside without any other net connection.

   I haven't changed anything other than compiling
stuff.  This is a -current system on a Thinkpad W500
compiled on June 26th.  This has worked for years.

   What happens is that upon firing ppp up manually
I get the message "Working in interactive mode" which
I have never gotten before.  So far I haven't been able
to do anything with it other than a ^C.  I tried an
identical phone with my SIM; same results.

   Any ideas?

Thanks, STeve Andre'

#################################################################

# This file is separated into sections.  Each section is named with
# a label starting in column 0 and followed directly by a ``:''.  The
# section continues until the next section.  Blank lines and lines
# beginning with ``#'' are ignored.
#
# Lines beginning with "!include" will ``include'' another file.  You
# may want to ``!include ~/.ppp.conf'' for backwards compatibility.
#

# Default setup. Always executed when PPP is invoked.
#  This section is *not* loaded by the ``load'' or ``dial'' commands.
#
#  This is the best place to specify your modem device, its DTR rate,
#  and any logging specification.  Logging specs should be done first
#  so that subsequent commands are logged.
#
default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set device /dev/cua01

 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK
\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

# Client side PPP
#
#  Although the PPP protocol is a peer to peer protocol, we normally
#  consider the side that makes the connection as the client and the
#  side that receives the connection as the server.  Authentication
#  is required by the server either using a unix-style login procedure
#  or by demanding PAP or CHAP authentication from the client.
#

# An on demand example where we have dynamic IP addresses:
#  If the peer assigns us an arbitrary IP (most ISPs do this) and we
#  can't predict what their IP will be either, take a wild guess at
#  some IPs that you can't currently route to.
#
#  The /0 bit in "set ifaddr" says that we insist on 0 bits of the
#  specified IP actually being correct, therefore, the other side can assign
#  any IP numbers.
#
#  The fourth arg to "set ifaddr" makes us send "0.0.0.0" as our requested
#  IP number, forcing the peer to make the decision.
#
#  This entry also works with static IP numbers or when not in -auto mode.
#  The ``add'' line adds a `sticky' default route that will be updated if
#  and when any of the IP numbers are changed in IPCP negotiations.
#  The "set ifaddr" is required in -auto mode.
#
#  Finally, the ``enable dns'' bit tells ppp to ask the peer for the
#  nameserver addresses that should be used.  This isn't always supported
#  by the other side, but if it is, /etc/resolv.conf will automatically be
#  updated.

# When we want to use PAP or CHAP instead of using a unix-style login

#
#  # ppp -auto ondemand
#
#  With static IP numbers, our setup is similar to dynamic:

# To connect via a GPRS or UMTS device (e.g. a mobile phone or a PC Card),
# it's often necessary to set the access-point name (in this case 'internet')
# which requires quotes in the dial string. This section shows the escaping
# required. Devices that have not already authenticated the SIM card (like a
# PC Card) need to issue the "AT+CPIN=xxxx" (xxxx being the PIN for the SIM
# card) first.
# For certain devices it is necessary to adjust the baud rate (speed setting)
# and/or change the dial string to "*99***1#".
# UMTS devices often allow control of the connect mode (UMTS only, GPRS only
# or default to which is available); this can be controlled with the number
# passed to the AT+CGDCONT command and is device dependant.
# Some ISPs do special things in their IPCP session in order to negotiate
# the IP addresses; in this case it may be necessary to play with the ifaddr
# setting.

# Ppp can accept control instructions from the ``pppctl'' program.

# a UNIX domain socket, and watch the permissions:
#
    set server /var/tmp/internet MySecretPassword 0177
#
# Although a TCP port may be used if you want to allow control
# connections from other machines:

# Server side PPP
#  If you want the remote system to authenticate itself, you insist
#  that the peer uses CHAP (or PAP) with the "enable" keyword.  Both CHAP and
#  PAP are disabled by default (we usually only "enable" one of them if the
#  other side is dialing into our server).
#  When the peer authenticates itself, we use ppp.secret for verification.
#
#  Ppp is launched with:
#   # ppp -direct CHAPserver
#
#  Note:  We can supply a third field in ppp.secret specifying the IP address
#         for that user.  We can even specify a fourth field to specify the
#         ppp.link{up,down} label to use.
#

# If we wish to act as a server, allowing PAP access according to
# accounts in /etc/passwd, we do this  (Without `enable passwdauth',
# you may still enter ``*'' as the users password in ppp.secret and
# ppp will look it up in the passwd database.  This is useful if you
# need to assign a special label or IP number or range):

#  Here, the server sends lqr's every 10 seconds and quits if five in a
#  row fail.
#
#  Make sure you don't have "deny lqr" in your default: on the client !

I'm using pppd with another provider LUXGSM, but I can't connect anymore
but it used to work perfectly.

I would really appreciate some help too.

Thanks a lot!

Aaron Mason - Programmer, open source addict
- Oh, why does everything I whip leave me?

[Andrej Elizarov]

If Aaron is right, you need to call to your mobile operators and ask about
"initialization string" in cell-modem properties in Windows
(like  /AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.pt.lu"/ ), at first. And about new phone
number for dial-up connection.
In some rare cases i had to edit resolve.conf manually ( you can ask
operator for dns ).

This was in fact a bug, and Claudio fixed it, at least for me.  The changes
to usr.sbin/ppp were put into the tree today.

Back when I first got this T-Mobile account and data plan, *no one* at
T-Mobile could help a non-Windows non-Mac user.  There was simply no
one there who could help.  It took a lot of reading manuals for me to
build the ppp.conf file that worked.  Perhaps other carriers are less
useless.

I realize that. But magic words  ' "initialization string" in cell-modem
properties in Windows' must turn support's brain in right way and help get
some usefull info.

I belive your ppp.conf is correct. Stuff that could be changed on the
operator side are init string and dial number.



Anyway, happy ppping and sorry for bothering)
