I have the same problem with my OEM USR Sportster 28.8! However, I only
have problems under Debian and not Win95. I get pauses and hang-ups
very frequently that are about to drive me insane! I have the S12=0 set
on both platforms as has been mentioned in past threads. Is the Linux
PPP more senstive to line noise? PPP almost always terminates in these
instances with a SIGHUP signal.(I don't send it.)
(/var/log/messages snippet)
Jun 24 08:37:22 servis pppd[249]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Jun 24 08:37:22 servis pppd[249]: Modem hangup
Jun 24 08:37:22 servis pppd[249]: Connection terminated.
Maybe the register to set is S10 which pauses after loss of carrier before
hang up?
Anybody have any suggestions for us?
Thanks,
Brian
