Conexant HSF Modem 1 - User 0

I followed all the Conexant HSF modem setup magic, but when I try to dial out via Gkdial, I get:

Code: Select all

When I try dialing using Xeznet, it just hangs, leaving the processes:

Code: Select all

 1496 root        480 S   eznet up Zianet

 1500 root        408 R   /usr/bin/eznet chat 0 

After I kill the processes, I there are messages:

Code: Select all

Apr 12 22:43:06 (none) daemon.err pppd[1498]: Connect script failed
Apr 12 22:43:07 (none) daemon.info pppd[1498]: Exit.

My chatscript is:

Code: Select all

ABORT ERROR
ABORT RING
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
REPORT CONNECT
""    "ATZ"
OK ATDT*******
TIMEOUT 60
CONNECT \c

I really DO want to get Puppy 1.0.8 running from a USB stick to dial out.

I won't say for certain in this case but,
I find both gkdial and xeznet to not work very often for me, so now I don't even try anymore, I just use wvdial.
Note:
make sure you take the little comment marks out from the front of the username password phone number entries first.

Even with Wvdial, I am still getting 'Connect script failed'

I tried all seven of the .inf files.

Other than trial and error, how does one determine the correct .inf file?
