RE: linmodem works but hangs up when idle
Eric
The Broadcom code has not been updated for some time.
A fix by Giacomo Comes must be used for current 2.4 kernels
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg01652.html
Giacomo is however no longer using this modem type and has volunteered that
an upgrade to 2.6.n kernels is probably impossible without Broadcom
participation.
Please forward to the Debian-user List. Not being a current member, my
email would be rejected

Subject: "linmodem" works but hangs up when idle
I got a BCMSM 4212 to work on Debian 2.2.20-idepci
with the driver .rpm from Dell but it seems to hang up
after a minute or so of idle time. I used "pppconfig"
to set no hang-up at all for idle time, and it seems
to be sort of a random period, ranging from 50 seconds
to two minutes.
If it's doing something with the connection, like a
download, it works like a champ, but reading webpages
means a redial everytime I pause to take the content
in.
Anyone know what this might be caused by?
