Since you're getting Authenticated before getting hung-up, I think there probably is a problem with your Modem. Try with 'minicom' to see if you your Modem is actually working. Minicom is something like PROCOMM for Linux. It should be present on your system if you chose to install it during your RedHat initial setup.

Using minicom to connect to your ISP. If your ISP doesn't allow a manual logon then you might be in trouble. In that case Start minicom, dial your ISP and Log in. After your ISP starts PPP, quit minicom with ALT-Q (or whatever the sequence is to 'quit without reset') and start pppd:

pppd -d -detach /dev/modem 115200 &

PPP will be running. Try pinging your ISP or another known IP address. That will test everything is OK. If you can get PPP running this way, then you have a scripting problem. If PPP doesn't work, you have a PPP configuration problem.

thnx buddy. let me do all this stuff in linux. modem has no problem as it is working fine in windows and in linux too when using a IP based broadband of airtel, but with bsnl's username and passwd based broadband it is showing these probs.

Maybe there is authentication problem with the BSNL Server. Contact BSNL
customer support and tell them your problem. Are you able to connect to the Net
from Windows?
