Hi folks,
I get my Internet through a dial up line to my ISP. I use a Linux box to
route using pppd and a US Robotics 56k modem. The connection dials to a
Cisco AS5300. I have the serial port set to 115200 and reset the modem to
some settings CISCO had on their web sites. The problem I am having is that
the connection doesn't stay up for longer than a few hours. Sometimes it is
only up for a few minutes. Before my ISP switched me to this setup was
using a US Robotics 33.6 modem and I was dialing into a Proteon server.
That connection used to stay up for days at a time and only drop when the
Proteon would lose its route. That loss made my side think that the
connection was down and reset it.
Is there anyone on the list that uses this type of setup and can give me
some pointers on how to check to see what is causing this. The place I am
dialing into is only temporary because my ISP is doing renovations and they
contracted with this other ISP to handle their traffic. Since this
temporary move it has been a rough ride. The ISP that is running the AS5300
I think is more of a novice than me. He is of no help and my regular ISP's
hands are tied until I get back on their server.
Thanks in advance. Pointers to How-tos or RTFM will be greatly appreciate.
