Hey people -
I'm having annoying problems setting up ppp (using user ppp.)
I'm running FreeBSD 2.2-970310-GAMMA on a 486-80 with 12MB ram. The modem
in question is a USRobotics 28.8 Sportster.
I used to run user ppp without problems. Things that have changed since
then: upgraded from 14.4 Sportster. upgraded from 2.1.5-RELEASE. and
changed to an ISP with dynamic IP allocation :(
The problems are as follows:
1 - The connection dies after some seemingly random interval. However,
the line doesn't get hung up, the routes stay in place, and the
interface stays marked as up. The ppp process starts going crazy
and slurps up memory; doesn't respond to keys. At this point I kill
-9 it from another shell, down the interface, delete the dead route,
and re-do (all manually, so far). Not much fun.
2 - A problem that seems more strange. 'ppp -auto foo' seems to behave
strangely. It claims to be working fine, but it ups the interface
with a bogus route immediately (i.e.:
# ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8050<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1006
# ppp -auto foo
<output seems to be happy...>
# ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1006
inet 10.255.255.254 --> 10.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffff00
Any help (especially with problem #1!) would be most appreciated....
Thanks,
David Lowe
