Problems with isdn4linux and network connections
Hi,
I connect to my provider using PPP over isdn4linux and a Teles card.
All works well except for one thing:
Sometimes I start Netscape (say) to read news. I read news for a
while then decide it's enough. Then I execute "isdnctrl hangup ippp0"
which hangs up the connection just fine. Everything is cool so far.
However, if I suddenly decide to quit Netscape, the trouble starts.
The ISDN connection comes back up with not data to transfer :-(
I lokk at the process table, it contains no process that could
possibly want to transfer NNTP data, but still, netstat shows me a
"news" network connection that is (usually) in state FIN_WAIT_1.
I don't think Netscape is the problem: it happens with the Emacs Gnus
newsreader as well.
Note that the trouble starts only when I quit the program: I can
hang up the ISDN connection at any time then resume newsreading later
without any problem, as long as I leave the newsreader running.
What's the story? tia,
kai
