[MiNT] Configure internet using null modem cable

[Piotrek <mietniow@agh.edu.pl>]

Hi,

I can try to configure laptop with Kubuntu distribution of Linux with
atari falcon CT63 via null modem cable. 
I could using information from Patric Mandin wepage by PPP protocol:

http://pagesperso-orange.fr/patrice.mandin/en/howto-net-ppp.html

On the laptop because I have not port RS232 I used USB2RS232 converter

I check using command: ls -ltra /dev/
and I have information
 
crw-rw----   1 root dialout 188,   0 2009-11-21 12:02 ttyUSB0

On the linux I used this comand

pppd -detach crtscts lock noauth local 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2
/dev/ttyUSB0 57600 &

Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyUSB0

but after a few second I have this message

LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Connection terminated.
Modem hangup

On the atari I used command

pppd -detach crtscts lock noauth local 192.168.0.2:192.168.0.1 /dev/ttyS1
57600 &

And I have alert with this information pid 128 (pppd): opening global
handle (U:\dev\tts1)

and after a moment i have the same 
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

Somebody know what is a problem ?

Best regards

Piotrek
