Yeah, that's what I get some of the time. Like just now I got:
Feb 19 21:55:05 localhost pppd[375]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x8 "Peer not
respondi
Feb 19 21:55:08 localhost pppd[375]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x9 "Peer not
respondi
Feb 19 21:55:11 localhost pppd[375]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0xa "Peer not
respondi
Feb 19 21:55:14 localhost pppd[375]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0xb "Peer not
respondi
Feb 19 21:55:17 localhost pppd[375]: Connection terminated.
Feb 19 21:55:17 localhost pppd[375]: Connect time 8.1 minutes.
Feb 19 21:55:17 localhost pppd[375]: Sent 106115 bytes, received 1329372
bytes.
Feb 19 21:55:18 localhost pppd[375]: Exit.
But I also get other drop-outs. Possible ordinary ones? My neighbours were
complaining they get lots of drop-outs too. However the other time just now
when the modem failed, the error was different, e.g.:
Feb 19 22:00:21 localhost pppd[1449]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x2 <mrru 1506>]
Feb 19 22:00:21 localhost pppd[1449]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap
0x0> <m
Feb 19 22:00:42 localhost last message repeated 7 times
Feb 19 22:00:45 localhost pppd[1449]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Feb 19 22:00:45 localhost pppd[1449]: Connection terminated.
Feb 19 22:00:46 localhost pppd[1449]: Exit.
or
Feb 19 21:58:13 localhost pppd[1098]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x1
magic=0x11456c48]
Feb 19 21:58:34 localhost pppd[1098]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid
1109),
Feb 19 21:58:43 localhost pppd[1098]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x2
magic=0x11456c48]
Feb 19 21:59:11 localhost pppd[1098]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Feb 19 21:59:11 localhost pppd[1098]: Modem hangup
But sometimes the modem freezes up, sometimes it just shuts down cleanly.
So it's hard to be conclusive about what the problem is. It seems like when
I get the timeouts and no response, that's when the modem freezes up. The
other times it gets a Hangup signal and shuts down normally, an ordinary
phone line drop-out. The key problem I've been noticing is the way the
modem just freezes solid, rather than simply dropping a line.
What sort of warranty do we get on these Xircom modems? ;/
