I have the same problem: if i start with "ftp somehost" somehost
actually being in my local name server cache the link comes up but ftp
just hangs there. The same goes on for the DES cracking client (which is
annyoing).
Are you using PPP with a dynamically assigned address ?
I suspect that the first packet gets sent with the "FROM" IP
address being that of the serial device and not the address that was
assigned to the PPP link when it came up.
I currently consider this to be a diald bug or at least a severe
limitation. Maybe someone knows how to deal with it ?
