hi, all
these days, I tried to test ppp link between two redhat
linux9.0(using null modem connection), acoording Chapter 29. Using PPP
across a null modem (direct serial) connection in PPP-HWOTO,,

What kind of nullmodem, a 3-wire or full nullmodem?

I guess you know that a nullmodem is not a "direct serial" connection
in the pin-to-same-pin sense.

but when I type
[root@localhost ~]# pppd /dev/ttyS0 nodetach
I got the following messages:

using channel 3
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic 0x50ae4299>
<pcomp> <a ccomp>]

[repeated 9 more times]

LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

No response means that the "server" pppd is unable to respond or that
LCP messages are being lost or corrupted.

I have done the following things:
1. the client(using minicom) can login into the server(using
agetty),
2.the configurations about server ppp as follows:
/etc/ppp/options:
lock
auth

/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0
lock
local
crtscts

If you use local then you should use xonxoff, not crtscts. If you use
crtscts then you should not use xonxoff or local. The options local and
xonxoff are for a 3-wire nullmodem and crtscts is for a full nullmodem.

debug
asyncmap 0

Just a heads-up: If it turns out that you need to use xonxoff then you
should not specify asyncmap.

passive
proxyarp
192.168.1.1:192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
ms-dns 192.168.1.1
require-pap

Not related to the current problem but you might also need

remotename ppp

38400

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
ppp * 123pcz *

3. the configuration about client ppp as follow
/etc/ppp/options:
lock

/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0
38400
crtscts
debug
local

The server comments regarding local, xonxoff, and crtscts also apply to
the "client."

user ppp
noauth

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
ppp * 123pcz *

any replys are welcom, thks!

Finally, be sure ttyS0 is the correct serial port for the nullmodem cable
and is correctly configured.
