SuSE Linux: Version 7.3
No connection to the smpppd. You can change the parameters for the server connection in the dialog "Various settings" and try the option "Reconnect to server".or
Connection to local and remote server refused. Maybe the smpppd is not running or your are not member of the group "dialout".
After having added the user to the group "dialout" and restored the connection to the server, you still obtain the same error messages.
The cause of this problem might be that there are no interfaces available for the card or that the smpppd has not been started.
If the output is unused, please refer to the article "Has SMPPPD Been Started?".
If, on the other hand, the output is running, please proceed as follows:
Enter the command rci4l restart in a root shell. Again, if the following output is displayed:
