Hi-
We recently moved an external USRobotics Courier I-modem from a Windows NT
(4.0 SP3) box to a FreeBSD (2.2.5R) box. That ISDN line is used as the
gateway to our ISP for a network of around 5-10 systems. It is a full-time
dedicated ISDN line, so on the BSD box I run:
ppp -ddial seanetISDN0
Now...we have it connected to a serial port with a 16550A UART which limits
the bandwidth a bit (to the 115200 max for the serial port), and it seems to
work OK. In the NT box we had it connected to a ByteRunner TC-200 [a 2 port
16650 serial card...the 9 pin connector ("COMB") is setup as COM3/IRQ5 and the
25 pin connector ("COMA") is disabled]. On that card we had the clock
multiplier jumper set to double the speed (i.e. system says 115200 and the
card uses 230400 to talk to the modem). I think we're using the same cabling
we were on the NT box.
So...the problem is...when I have the modem hooked up to the COM3 port, it
fires up the connection to our ISP and runs for a while just fine. Then after
a little while (a few to 10 minutes or so), it seems to just stop. I'm
running
tcpdump -li tun0
and I see lines for traffic trying to go out, but I don't see the send data
light flashing or the receive data light flashing. It's just stuck somehow,
somewhere.
When that happens, I do a 'kill' on the ppp process, switch the cable back to
COM1, go change the ppp.conf from cuaa2 to cuaa0, fire it back up and it
works. I've tried various tricks of enabling/disabling lqr & pred1 in my
ppp.conf; enable/disable the COM4 port on the ByteRunner card. I'll append my
ppp.conf to this message.
Any ideas on how to get this working via the ByteRunner card?
