Hi I am having a problem with a ISI 5634 PCI/8 Multitech multiport card. Me have setup a dial-in server using mgetty in RH8. At least once in 5 dial-ins the card misses a connection. ie ,the client gets an endless ring tone. Why would this happen? The ports are ttyM1a,ttyM1b ... etc.
I tried resetting the respective ports when pppd detaches from the port by giving a program in /etc/ppp/ip-down.local. But no help. Another strange situation is that when dialing-in from Windoze 98/95 I have no problem in disconnecting after a specific time. Of course , it may miss the rings at time, but on redial most of the time I get a connection. The problem is when the Windoze XP clients are used. The port gets locked often after a missed connection ,or even after a decent dial-in. Most of the time me have to cold boot the XP. The problem persists even when the internal modem (HSP56) is replaced with an external one ( here, I need only to switch off and on to reset). But the d**n thing connects well and disconnects decently to a BSNL Internet number. Is it a problem of the Multitech port ? Or is it with XP. I use PAP authentification. Is it a problem with RH8 mgetty? Once again let me point out that WIn98 has'nt given me a trouble. regards Nataraj ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
