Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk i have a cyclades cyclom 8yo card installed on a 2.1.7 system and i seem to be having a problem with line drops. at random times whether there is activity on the lines or not the lines just drop and pppd logs the following message: Jun 18 18:51:35 mail /kernel: ppp2: no carrier i know that i can set the modem to wait longer on loss of carrier in case it is line noise and i'm going to try that but one of these modems was attached to a plain old serial port before i got the cyclades card and this never happened when it was on the serial port. so i really don't think that setting the modem to wait longer for carrier is going to do anything. does anybody have any ideas? thanks....
