I just recently upgraded to version 2.2-Current and have run into a little snag with my PPP connection. I use the -auto switch with ppp, so it will automatically dial and redial when the link gets broken. Ever since I upgraded to Current, after rebooting, or shutting of the modem and turning it back on, it will dial out and function just fine. However my ISP runs WorldGroup BBS software, which cleans up at 5:00AM each morning, which cuts off the connection. The modem will then redial and reconnect and everything just fine, but I will be unable to get out on the net. I get a "no route to host" message from things like ping. In order to fix this, I can simply turn off the modem for a few seconds and turn it back on. This has it redial and everything then works just fine. I am running routed with the -s flag. Is there a command that I can perhaps have cron run at 5:05 to re-esablish the route? Or perhaps a better alternative? I am using a snap which is a few weeks old, right now I am ftping the ctm deltas, so will try to recompile ppp and pppd with the latest sources. Is this perhaps a bug that has been fixed in the last couple of weeks? Or do I just have something incorrectly configured? I had this running on 2.1-Release for quite some time without any problem. Thank you, Jim Riffle
