Bug#355562: kppp: invalid connection speed reported
Package: kppp
Version: 4:3.3.2-5
Severity: minor
This one is a bit complex...
When using a SmartLink modem, there'e an option to get extended
connection info. Command is AT&A7.
When that command is used (mostly for debugging, and log window must be
open for this command to have any usefulness), kppp will fail to
correctly detect and report connection speed.
Examples:
ATZ
OK
ATM1L1
OK
ATDT829-5847
CONNECT 46667

This one is a typical one, which KPPP correctly handles.
ATZ

AT&A7

ATM1L1

This one is, IMHO, perfectly legal regarding the AT spec, but kppp will
get confused and report 147 at the connection speed (it consistently
reports the line number instead of the connection speed).
Far-fetched, and very minor, but still a bug.
