Something I have been meaning to post about but kept forgetting. I have a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE machine with a stallion card stl0: <EC8/32-PCI> port 0x7400-0x7403,0x7800-0x7807,0x8000-0x8003,0x8400-0x8407 irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 stl0: EC8/32-PCI (driver version 5.6.0b1) unit=0 nrpanels=1 nrports=16 It's acting as a modem server running mgetty+sendfax from the ports collection MD5 (mgetty1.1.30-Dec16.tar.gz) = 4b80c418bc58add3e40de3be0ac6c02a mgetty is set to spawn off a user ppp session which it does quite well, but every now and then when the caller hangs up the ppp session stays active so the serail port is unusable. If I do a kill on the ppp session the ppp process dies but the sertial port on the stallion card does not free up and a reboot is required. The megetty.config is as follows: debug 6 data-only YES speed 57600 port-owner uucp port-group network port-mode 0666 toggle-dtr YES toggle-dtr-waittime 500 direct NO blocking NO modem-type data init-chat "" ATS0=0Q0&D3&C1 OK modem-check-time 3600 rings 2 answer-chat "" ATA CONNECT \c \r answer-chat-timeout 80 autobauding NO ringback NO ringback-time 30 ignore-carrier false prompt-waittime 500 login-prompt @!login: login-time 240 It's almost as if ppp is not sending the right signal to release the serial port back to mgetty. Any ideas? - Ernie.
