Hello Alan, I am hoping that the sync-ppp package
(I beleive) that you put together can be used to
access my I-modem(3com/usr) . The reason I think
it might is that the I-modem is internally capable
of doing synchronous .
As when I access it with the standard pppd(2.3.9)
on 2.3.14 . I am only able to connect at sync with
the greatest difficulty .
Then I cannot 'ftp put' from my system without the
pppd becoming locked that only a 'kill -HUP' will clear .
Then start get the whole connect trouble again .
I do have a setting that has been reliable both for
putting & getting(which was never a problem) that is
async-2-sync conversion mode , which does not use bonding .
The account I am using is configured to allow the bonding
of the channels .
My observations ,
- I beleive that the I-modem at the time of the lockup is
attempting to attach the second channel and isn't succeeding,
but pppd locks during this process or appears to .
This is -all- even with the I-modem set to -single- channel ???
I have also tried the options:
single channel , no dynamic bandwidth
dual channel , no dynamic bandwidth
single channel , dynamic bandwidth
dual channel , dynamic bandwidth
async-2-sync , automatically disables dynamic bandwidth
(which is actually stable, so far)
- My attempts to setup channel bonding on the I-modem have
been successful only once . I have not been able to
reproduce the settings (I guess).
Tia, JimL
