MPD is horrible about handling losing a link which means I turn off 3 modems whenever it rains because it can redial and reconnect faster then it can handle losing a link. Lose one of 4 modems and it takes usually 2 minutes to start sending packets again. Whats worse is the phonelines are bad enough to where under a good heavy file transfer I'll lose a modem on one particular line every few minutes. I'm using 2 freebsd 2.2.2 boxes running mpd 1b4. its a backwards setup which is why I dont just dial into my termservers. Its local call from work to home but at the time I installed it all it was not a local call back and dialout lines are still cheaper at the office then home. I never had a chance to do anything constructive about solving it so I never mentioned it before... was just happy that it worked at all :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Tom Arnold - the sunrise in the east every morning in my dreams, i - - SysAdmin - turn the music on and start to dance with all my friends- - TBI, Ltd - the sun shines on my way every night and every day and - -------------- takes the sorrows far away, so far away. -- X-Perience - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
