My ISP has obtained the wonderful new remote area GTE lines which also support analog .. Unlike the days before we had the wonnerful new digital lines .. Frequently .. the line goes down .. due to early shortage of IIJPPP .. I guess that is what I am running .. % strings /usr/sbin/ppp .. "User Process PPP. Written by Toshiharu OHNO." .. "@(#)uucplock.c 5.5 (Berkeley) 6/1/90" "Version 0.94" "/dev/cua01" Documentation .. wound up with probably faking "carrier" after connected and of course .. ppp fails to exit .. on its own .. when the line goes down .. If only I could find a way to after killing /usr/sbin/ppp .. being able to run a dialer / chat .. as I can in ppp> term .. to allow me to send "+++ <wait> ath0" and fully exit .. I could then quickly redial my ppp .. as it is .. I am down till I find the failure .. kill ppp, power off the modem (faster than ppp .. term .. +++ ath0), re-init ppp ... I have NO clue how to do a direct few instructions to the modem either within ppp or with any other tty writer embedded 2.0.5 .. ANY / ALL Help or ideas welcome .. ALSO .. any help on how to migrate 2.0.5_disks to 2.1.6 or to BSDI_3.0 welcomed ..
