Hmm, the hangup code was quite broken until just before the 2.2.5 release - I spent a lot of time with this 'till I eventually got a hold of a second modem. Just after 2.2.5, I added some diagnostics to the ModemTimeout routine that check carrier. I also added some stuff to the FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/userppp.html). It's worth looking at the FAQ, and if you still have no joy, get the latest version from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian, enable debug logging (set log +debug) and fgrep for the "ModemTimeout" stuff. You should see your carrier status reported rather frequently. You modem's probably faking carrier, and now that LQR is disabled by default, nothing's there to notice the line's dead. > Doesn't the 2.2.5 have the latest ppp? It did at the time (bar M$-CHAP - it was too late to get a working solution for the DES inclusion). It's now hopelessly out of date - the most noticable (functional) changes being the security model, the phase transition code and now, the DEFLATE support. > Regards, > Elton -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
