PCMCIA/PPP/MODEM problems
========= PLEASE HELP ========
Hi, I'm experiencing a strange problem with ppp and my pcmcia modem.
I have no problems receiving data, surfing the web or downloading, but when
I try to send an email bigger than 5k, the connection stops.
I had this problem with the 2.3.5 ppp package with slink and 2.0.36. Then I
upgraded the kernel to 2.2.12, and i got TCGETATTR(...): input/output error.
I upgraded gcc to the potato version and libc6 to 2.1. I downloaded
ppp-2.3.11.It didn't worked in any sense, nor with 2.0.36 neither with 2.2.12

(the same TCGETATTR(..)). It's really annoying, I can't reliably send e-mail
without having the doubt it would be lost.
I start the connection this way:

I don't know wheter it's a PCMCIA or PPP problem, but it seems like it's a
ppp problem, 'cause the modem works fine surfing the web or downloading stuff
(this with 2.0.36). I tried to reduce the time between LCP acks, it didn't solve
the problem. Then I put LCP-echo-interval 120 (this is quite long), it didn't
solve the problem. Nothing did solve the problem.
It's important to say that under windoze I don't have any problems with my
PCMCIA modem.
I think it isn't a ISP problem, cause I tried different ISP and had the same
problem with all of them.
This is what cardctl says:
[/var/log]>> cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "PCMCIA_CARD_56KFaxModem", "FM56C-NF ", "5.41"
manfid: 0x014e, 0x0088
function: 2 (serial)
Socket 1:
no product info available
[/var/log]>> cardctl status
Socket 0:
5V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready], [req attn]
Socket 1:
no card
I think I will send this email around
until somebody gives an answer. I've
already tried on debian-laptop, but
nobody answered or seemed to care.
Thanks in advance to everyone who
gives some help,
Andrea
