Post the output of dmesg.

Post the output of any diagnostic tools you may have. What about a configuration file?
I don't know the first thing about Telewell modems but it wouldn't be a bad time to learn.
Not sure if this were a hardware or networking related issue, but the problem is that I can´t connect to internet with it. I´m still a newbie, but trying to work it out![]()
The linux I´m using is Knoppix 3.1 and installed on HD.
I´ve used a driver called ECIAdsl ´cos it says it supports my adsl-modem, but if I get the line synched it always ends up saying "LCP: timeout sending config-requests".
My internet provider uses the following settings:
VPI:0 / VCI:50
RFC 2516 PPPoE and G.DMT
in eciadsl there´s no option to choose RFC 2516 only LLC 2364, and it is the only one that goes so far that it timeouts. I made my own synch-bin in windows and it works fine.
If you need more information or some copy-pasting, I´m ready and waiting.
Thanks anyways...
