Something like script but for a serial port?If you can find a PPP conf file or, maybe, a dialup or chat conf file, perhaps even an LCP conf, and set logging to debug or verbose, then that might bring the first clues for whatever condition the link is getting into.
I found some old notes from the time I had problems with dial-up links resetting. My Wheezy system seems to use
/etc/ppp/options for various settings, including logging.I suggest you change the entry in /etc/ppp/options for logging, uncommenting the debugging logging level:
#debug to become debugThere are a number of other quite-powerful options in that file, but which shouldn't be touched (yet). Once the reason that PPP is dropping the link becomes clear, then it is possible that a settings change in this file might fix it.
See what that ppp log now tells you about the link reset or disconnection. Further checks will then be needed.
If you're feeling you need to understand more, man pon, and man pppd expose you to a lot of detail. regards, Ron
