[-- Attachment #1 --] If you could shed some light in the following problem I am experiencing and is driving me nuts, I would be eternaly graterful (trifle overstated, but anyhow it would help me a lot...). Setup: ------- *FreeBSD 2.2.5 Release *mgetty 1.0.0 (compiled with AUTO_PPP) *ppp (ajppp, user process) *US Robotics Sportster modem on /dev/cuaa0 (/dev/ttyd0) mgetty send ppp requests to ppp -direct as in the manual pages/FAQ for handling incoming calls. Problem Description: -------------------------- Auto-ppp functions properly, mgetty dispatches ppp-pap script and exits, ppp -direct is executed, connection is established and the link functions properly for long periods. BUT, when connection is broken (client modem hungs up), 'ppp -direct' remains running (the PPP connection being terminated) and subsequently mgetty does not restart to handle further connections. If you kill ppp manually, then everything is back to normal. Attempts to solve the problem -------------------------------------- I've tried enabling lqr on the connection, using either cuaa0 or ttyd0 but to now avail. I checked the settings for /dev/ttyd0 and has 'clocal' defined. If you've read that far and can make sense or understand the reason for ppp not dying when a connection is dropped, please please let me know by e-mail at kd@eexi.gr .
