I've got a question about my 3Com US Robotics ISDN Pro TA, hopefully someone here can answer it and point me to what I need to fix. BTW, the 3Com ISDN Pro TA acts like a regular external modem as far as the system is concerned, fully AT cmd compatible and all that. Ok, I'm using a Epox 7KXA+ MB (VIA KX133 Chipset) W/ Athlon 750. It's a new MB and processor I just bought (time to retire the ol' Pentium Pro:). I've been using my 3Com TA for about a year on my old board using the serial connection (didn't have USB on my old system and the TA supports USB and Serial) with no issues (except being choked by my serial througput). I set up my new system and originally had it going with the TA using a serial cable but then I figured, what the hell, I'll give USB a shot. Using a mid-march burn of Slackware-current w/ kernel 2.2.19 I got all the USB stuff working no problem. My connection is waaay faster--only problem is it drops a lot at about 20 second intervals for no apparent reason. I'll be downloading something and packets will simply stop. Running Ethereal shows nothing going across the ppp interface. I am not able to ping anything. This will last about 3-5 seconds then packets will start flowing again. During this period of dead air pppd remains up, it does not die at all, and there are zero error messages in any log files. I did not experience this using the same TA w/ the serial connection. Anybody have any ideas? Did I miss something in the kernel config? This problem occurs whether I dial w/ good ol' ppp-go or Kppp (that was a bitch, getting Kppp to work with a USB Modem). Thanks in advance for any help, Eric B. -- Q: Is Linux only good because it is free? A: No, but Windows would still suck if it was. The side of the box said "Requires Windows 95 or better". I figured this means it must run in Linux. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
