SYMPTOMS
========
When you attach a third-party Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) client to a Remote
Access Service (RAS) server via a null modem cable, the RAS server port status
reports a hardware failure and no connection is made.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs due to the null modem scripts in the MODEM.INF file being
specifically written for Windows NT computers only.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, you can modify the Null Modem entry in the MODEM.INF
file for the Windows NT RAS server and the INI extension file for the
third-party PPP client.
NOTE: If you are using Modem.inf with Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, see the
following article in the Microsoft knowledge base:
ARTICLE-ID: Q150808
TITLE : Disabling Support for Unimodem Modems in Remote Access
Server Side
-----------
Change the Null Modem entry in the MODEM.INF file to the following:
CALLBACK_TIME=10
DEFAULTOFF=compression
MAXCARRIERBPS=19200
MAXCONNECTBPS=19200
COMMAND_INIT=
NoResponse
COMMAND_LISTEN=
CONNECT=$
CONNECT=<h00>CLIENT
COMMAND_LISTEN=
NoResponse
COMMAND_DIAL=CLIENT
CONNECT=SERVER
Client Side
-----------
For the client side, you want to send a "$" (without quotation marks) to signify
a CONNECT. For example, the Chameleon product from NetManage, Inc., uses a
SLIP.INI file to send scripts. In the section for Windows NT, change the
following lines:
"script=-n" to "script=-n $$ -n" (without quotes)
The Chameleon product discussed here is manufactured by NetManage, Inc., a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
this product's performance or reliability.
