Hello All, I am going to reply to my own mail here.
I can definately say it is something to do with the
I-modem &/or it's settings . Please see below .sig for
system & build info . From the below I am making an
educated guess that the I-modem isn't correctly setup.
I hope the below is sufficient to info to deduce the
possible trouble .
ok, what I have done to narrow this down .
- First the symptoms from trying with just the I-modem .
1 pppd /dev/ttyS1 115200 Gives ,
'Use of setserial/setrocket to set SPD_* flags is deprecated'
But does connect .
2 route default properly set via pppd.
3 ping some nearby router thru the ppp0 device .
ping command works for as long as I don't try to telnet/ftp/...
to another system thru ppp0 .
If I do , the ping times run right up to 1000+ms & more then
the connection will flat hang . Sometimes the link will begin
send packets out the ppp0 again . But the telnet/ftp/...
connection will not restart '.'
- Second narrowing down the trouble .
1 setup a serial modem ttyS0 using the POTS line on the I-modem
as the teleco connection (bad idea) .
2 pppd /dev/ttyS1 115200 Gives ,
'Use of setserial/setrocket to set SPD_* flags is deprecated'
But does connect .
3 route default properly set via pppd.
4 ping some nearby router thru the ppp0 device .
Ping command begins almost immediately to run right up to
1000+ms & more then will hang for a second or two then
continue , I didn't even attempt to telnet/ftp/... in the
presence of this symptom . the symptom would re-occur
approximately every 15-30 seconds .
- Third narrowing down the trouble .
1 setup a serial modem ttyS0 using the POTS line on a
Netgear RT328 as the teleco connection (good idea) .
2 pppd /dev/ttyS1 115200 Gives ,
'Use of setserial/setrocket to set SPD_* flags is deprecated'
But does connect .
3 route default properly set via pppd.
4 ping some nearby router thru the ppp0 device .
haven't had a single problem with this connection since I
started it 5 hours ago .
Any help appreciated, JimL
