Once upon a time, if I was using PPP and received an incoming phone call, the tone indicating that I had a "call waiting" was sufficient to knock down PPP and hang up the modem, allowing the incoming call to proceed. (Yes, I know about "cancel call waiting". Sometimes I really do want it to drop the line when there's an incoming call.) But in 3.0-RELEASE, PPP seems to be bulletproof. Incoming calls don't knock the connection down. Was there some change in the PPP implementation that makes it better able to recover from noise on the line? I'm still using the same modem I've had for three or four years now. Without going and looking at the committer log or having to download the 2.x sources to compare -- is there anyone who happens to know the answer to this off the top of their head? -- Kaleb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
