I am trying to make the modem of the Sharp Actius MM10 notebook work
with Redhat Linux.
The modem driver seems to work, since up to CONNECT everythingseems to
work:
ATZ
OK
ATMIL1
OK
ATDT1000
CONNECT 34666 V42bis

Then however Kppp fails, telling me that "pppd exited with return value
16".
Did anyone succeed to get the modem working on this laptop, or any
ideas what is going wrong?
Some log messages are attached below.
Thanks in advance!!
