First of all, with regard to the subject: this has nothing to do with "early hangup" it even looks like it has nothing to do with the ISDN part of i4b at all. > charge at least 0.12 DM per connect here).

I guess you are using some sort of PPP. I guess that your machine tried to reach the remote machine and somehow the login/authorization failed. The PPP layer then tried to reach the remote end again and again. > This is an i4b bug, isn't it? From what i see it is not a bug in the i4b ISDN code.

This are messages from the ISDN part of i4b. The PPP layer above it seemed to have closed the line and this is no error for the ISDN part. In fact they don't know each other and this is what it is meant to be. > And do you see any chance that I could argue the Telekom into not > having to pay this abhorrent sum? I have heard from similar cases, that it might be that the Telecom will have mercy. They never had mercy with me, anyway. I would not even think about telling them that you are running something unapproved like i4b on your side .... > (The remote site is an Ascend router > run *by the Telekom* for our University, so if it is an error on the > remote site, this could help a lot) IIRC the sppp loop bug was seen with Ascends. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 55 97 47-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 55 97 47-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de D-22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
