It could be nice with some sort of budget control in ppp. A few days ago I found out bb caused a dialup every 5 minutes. Today I found I had been online 27 hours uninterrupted. Some dialup-routers allows a setup of max a connects/b minutes online over c hours. Also, I know it is possible to have

CAM: delaying new commands during reset

1999-07-05 Thread Nick Hibma
The Iomega USB Zip drive is a bit slow when resetting (reset of the USB part of the drive). It takes 1s or more to reset. The reset is initiated because for example an illegal command was received (sync cache for example). umass0: XPT_SCSI_IO 0:1:0 command: 0x25 (10b command/8b data) umass0: CBW
