[solved] modem hung up on etch

[heba <mat.r.gl@gmail.com>]

the problem was the isdn network, installing only the package ppp or
pppoe contained in the first cd-rom of etch is not configurating
correctly the modem that run for a line not isdn.

To resolve installing the package pppconfig and setting the option in the file:

/etc/ppp/options

to comment this lines:

# If this option is given, pppd will presume the peer to be dead if n
# LCP echo-requests are sent without receiving a valid LCP echo-reply.
# If this happens, pppd will terminate the connection.  Use of this
# option requires a non-zero value for the lcp-echo-interval parameter.
# This option can be used to enable pppd to terminate after the physical
# connection has been broken (e.g., the modem has hung up) in
# situations where no hardware modem control lines are available.
#lcp-echo-failure 4
