Package: diald Version: 0.16.5-3 I uses diald to dial my ISP (my university), which uses PPP with dynamic IP address. Whenever the phone get interrupted by whatever reason (e.g. incoming phone call, login time expire, and manual down link request) when there is still an TCP connection there, the next TCP request get diald to tries redial on the next incoming request. That should not be a problem with static IP, because once the new link is made the TCP connection either resumes, or starts doing a FIN sequence successfully and make the link idle. But with dynamic IP, the newly acquired link have a different IP, which means that the TCP connection will fail, and will be in a FIN wait state trying to shutdown the link. This means that the link will keep going up in the next 20 minutes or so, until the shutdown sequence finally timeout. This is quite troublesome, since I share the phone with voice use. I end up having to manually block Internet connections for 20 minutes to allow the TCP connection to timeout. I suggest the following to be added, maybe commented out, to /etc/diald/standard.filter: --- suggested addition --- # don't bring dynamic IP PPP connections back up to complete TCP FIN keepup tcp 10 tcp.fin ignore tcp tcp.fin --- end suggestion --- While this is not really complicated, I think it is not easy to come up without holding some form of TCP specs. And considering that I figured out how this can be done only four months after I notice the problem, I think even a commented-out addition will help much. I am using Debian 2.1, kernel version 2.0.34 and glibc 2.0.7. Isaac.Attachment: pgpi3o_J2BUNL.pgp
