    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to use the ppp modem module in dreamshell 4.0 RC3. I have to load the SD card version via file manager, then i open the module using 'module -o /sd/Dreamshell/modules/ppp.klf' and try to open the connection using 'ppp -i -n 40 -u dream -p dreamcast -d modem' but it outputs 'Modem PPP initialization failed!'. Is there anyone who knows how the module works?


    Thanks

    Hey. You call to local modem connected to PC? If yes, try use "blind dial" mode. If not, what the number 40??
    The "modem" device used by default, you doesn't need type it in console.
    All code in this module used from KOS, so if in KOS all ok, then in DS too.

    Try add "-B" flag (big char) or long version "--blind".
    Code:
    ppp -i -B -n 40 -u dream -p dreamcast
    You tried netopia router with DC online games? It's works?

    It works, i had to manually answer the call with the teltone tls2 by switching it to 'on/ring' back to 'on' back to 'on/ring' then back to 'on' again and it connected to the netopia

    After, it outputs alot of errors like 'dropping packet with bad fcs' then 'DS_ERROR: Link establishment failed!' But it remains connected to the netopia

    Thanks

    Seems it's a PPP errors, because modem initialization passed.
    I use code from KOS directly for this module without any modifications, so I'm not sure what is wrong.
    I think you need contact with author of PPP stack in KOS - Lawrence Sebald. I use dcemulation forum for the same questions.
