Hi Pj,
I tried your idea, and now I am stuck...After doing ifup ppp0 I got
connected, did my things and disconnected with ifdown ppp0. But now
my linux wants to reconnect after 60s, in spite of doing explicit
ifdown ppp0...
I tried everything, I modified the config file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0,
changed PERSIST to "no", but it did not help...I even hung up from
linuxconf, exited from root after ifdown ppp0, nothing helps.
What is going on!?
Here is my config file:
DEVICE="ppp0"
ONBOOT="no"
USERCTL="no"
MODEMPORT="/dev/modem"
LINESPEED="115200"
PERSIST="no"
DEFABORT="yes"
DEBUG="yes"
INITSTRING="ATZ"
DEFROUTE="yes"
HARDFLOWCTL="yes"
ESCAPECHARS="no"
PPPOPTIONS=""
PAPNAME="*********"
REMIP=""
NETMASK=""
IPADDR=""
MRU=""
MTU=""
DISCONNECTTIMEOUT="5"
RETRYTIMEOUT="60"
BOOTPROTO="none"
PEERDNS="yes"
DNS1=*********
DNS2=*********
