I've been using my Debian 3.0-Woody-distribution for 2 years. During this time I've never experienced any problems with internet connection. The pppconf or wvdial utilies worked finely-until today. Today I changed my ISP (Internet-by-Call provider). I made the usual changes using the pppconfig utility, but the connection to the provider doesn't work. I tried all combinations (previously I chose the default settings and it always worked). I even tried the same with the wvdialconf, but the negative result remained the same. There is nothing wrong with the provider, because I can reach him any time with my second computer (Windows XP).
I always get the message that the pppd process died because the modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16). What happened? See the attached image with error messages.

# /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
#
# This is a pap-secrets file to be used with the AUTO_PPP function of
# mgetty. mgetty-0.99 is preconfigured to startup pppd with the login option
# which will cause pppd to consult /etc/passwd (and /etc/shadow in turn)
# after a user has passed this file. Don't be disturbed therfore by the fact
# that this file defines logins with any password for users. /etc/passwd
# (again, /etc/shadow, too) will catch passwd mismatches.
#
# This file should block ALL users that should not be able to do AUTO_PPP.
# AUTO_PPP bypasses the usual login program so its necessary to list all
# system userids with regular passwords here.
#
# ATTENTION: The definitions here can allow users to login without a
# password if you don't use the login option of pppd! The mgetty Debian
# package already provides this option; make sure you don't change that.
# INBOUND connections
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
* (none) "" *
# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!
guest (none) "*" -
master (none) "*" -
root (none) "*" -
support (none) "*" -

# OUTBOUND connections
# Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via
# PAP. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect
# to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
# replace password with your password.
# If you have different providers with different passwords then you better
# remove the following line.

And now - an extract of the messages from /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog. The third file (mentioned by Vees), namely /var/log/ppp-connect-errors is empty on my system. The connection efforts took place about 20:46.

did you look at
did you look at /var/log/messages? it looks to me that the other modem hung up and, if so, there must be a reason for that. also, did you notice the weird characters after "waiting for prompt"?
Lastly - might there be a problem with how you 'are authenticated' (is that English?) to your ISP? Look at the authentification protocol used on your Windoze box and compare with what you entered with pppconfig.
If you still get nothing, could you post here and attach the full:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/ppp-connect-errors
(just stick it all into a text file and attach it to you post)

check 'auth' options
1. Check the type of authentication you use - chap/pap.
2. Check your chat/response entries carefully. Your ISP may be inserting extra messages which you need to respond to but currently dont.
3. Check the 'auth' option - if this is in your configuration files, the remote machine will be sent an authentication challenge. Most ISPs do NOT support this and you are disconnected after that, but normally it is you who disconnects. You should have a line with 'noauth' rather than 'auth'.
I would suspect the most likely situation is (3), but (1) is also common.
pppconfig
Now the problem is solved. The ISP told me to change the authentification method from pap to chap.
Besides, I made an experience that you cannot trust pppconfig. It makes mistakes when writing configuration files, especially /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets. Instead of writing a line like "logname host password", it tends to write "logname * password" or even "logname *". In my case pppconfig swallowed my password and therefore it didn't work. I tried the chap method even before writing this case on debian forum, I only didn't analyse the configuration files carefully enough.
After using pppconfig it is necessary to see the result files and to edit them.
Thank You for helpful remarks.
