bad modem?
I recently got a modem for my Linux server, and it seem to have some
problems. When I first connect it seems to work okay, but after a varying
amount of time (5-15 min) I see the following log messages:
Jan 30 18:21:21 server pppd[255]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x1 magic=0x8e98729b]

Jan 30 18:34:21 server pppd[255]: appear to have received our own echo-reply!
During this time it seems ppp/file transfers work fine, and then suddenly
stop. If I poff and then pon, it seems to work fine again for a little while.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do about this?
Thanks,
Chris
