Help!
I am running RH 6.0 server on dual PII-350's with an external Sportster
modem on
a network with 17 client workstations that masquerade (NAT) through the
server.
My ISP hangs you up after two hours and my phone company crashes the
connection on a frequent basis - depending on humidity in their lines.
So
I do a lot of re-dialing.
When diald gets two or three busy signals out of my ISP, the kernel
crashes
-- worse stability that NT server! So I remove diald.
So yesterday, I have the server connected to my ISP using the manual
PPPD
method (netcfg, etc.), with the automatic reconnect feature turned on.
The
only person on the system was me (nt workstation and rh 6.0): the rest
had gone
home and turned off their computers. And a couple of busy signals on a
dial
back and down goes my kernel -- very annoying.
So diald is vindicated. So how do I now fix pppd? (I am getting a lot
of heat
from the other 16 clients wanting on the internet!)
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks,
--Tony
