Maybe somebody can tell me how to get around the following (small)
problem.
As often as not my ppp dialup script dies the first time I run it. That
is, nothing happens -- it doesn't even dial the number. So I just run
it again, and this time everything works perfectly.
Here is the script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd connect "/usr/sbin/chat $DEBUG \
-f /etc/ppp/chat-once" \
/dev/modem file /etc/ppp/options.once &
And here are the relevant files in /etc/ppp:
/etc/ppp/chat-once
TIMEOUT 60
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT ERROR
"" ATZ
OK ATM1L3
OK ATDT303-492-8297
CONNECT ""
/etc/ppp/options.once
lock
crtscts
modem
defaultroute
192.168.116.15:128.138.229.145
115200
nopersist
idle 3600
My guess is that the first time around the chat script gets a modem
error and dies. But then why does it ALWAYS work the second time
around?
Not a big deal, but if somebody has an idea for me to try, I'd really
appreciate it.
