From the information that you have given so far. It is not a problem with the modem, it is not a problem with BSD. It is a problem with that fact that a proper ppp connection is not being made. If the ppp connection is not made within a certain amount of time the connection will be dropped. PLEASE, follow these exact instructions, tell us exactly what happens and what goes wrong if it does not work. 1. Type "ppp" at the command prompt. 2. At the ppp machine> prompt type "term", dial, and login properly. 3. When you're done logging in type "~p" 4. At this point you should type "show ipcp". Take not of "his address". 5. At some point your prompt should change to say "PPP machine>" if it hangs up before getting to this point. Please tell us what the prompt said before it hung up. Is it "ppp, Ppp, PPp, or PPP"? 6. Take the value of his addres in the last step and type "add 0 0 value_of_his_address". 7. Type ALT-F2 and try pinging different addresses. I realize that you have information from the isp as to ip addresses and such, and people are going back and forth with do this do that. but I think we need to start from scratch and attack your problems systematically. UNIX is not so convoluted and un-intuitive that it's going to thwart you at every turn, just for the hell of it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Young [SMTP:young@richardson.apana.org.au] > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 1999 7:31 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Modem Issues > > Does anyone know of issues with Hayes Optima modems that > might cause disconnection of user ppp after a few minutes > > It seems the system hasn't realized its supposed to notice the > "set timeout 0" in ppp.conf, so I'm looking for anything else that > just might be causing this To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
