Hello diald gurus, At work, we are currently having a big big problem with diald. kernel 2.0.36 diald 0.16.5a redhat 5.1 RNIS connection (Courrier I-Modem) Everything has been working fine for several months and with different ISPs. Same thing with our latest ISP during at least 2 or 3 months. But... since late february, we can't get rid of this problem: "dialdc up" works fine, every time I call it manually. but if a host (even our gateway which is running diald) makes a request to an internet site, see what's happening: Mar 26 10:50:11 hermes syslogd 1.3-3: restart. Mar 26 10:50:20 hermes diald[368]: FIFO. Changing debug flags to 93.

And it restarts again and again 3 or 4 times until the link no more falls down and remains up. I don't understant what's happening. I didn't changed anything in the diald's conf files. I've tried with another ISP: it works ! I've tried with a simple "pppd and chat" script, it works, as "dialdc up" does. I've re-installed another Linux distributions, such as Suse 6.0 kernel 2.0.36 or RedHat 5.1 kernel 2.2.5, and configured diald from scratch: same problem ! It is really a problem because the call doesn't completely fail. And before the link die, it costs us money ! Any idea ?
