 OK.

 I'm running...

 ce3582cc9c3b967baa0e918f2708075d  mgmt.o

I'll add it to the list tonight.

 Every now  again I have an upload problem, but I'm running an older
 version of modem_run.

I upped the timeout limit to 2 seconds in the latest CVS code. It seemed to
help other people so it may of been on the edge before. Try the latest CVS?

 Also my uptime is woeful. Usually only 2-3 weeks
 before the modem falls over  won't respond any more...

2-3 weeks! Your doing quite well. Does modem_run fall over or just exit.
Once its been run you can't run it again without a reboot. I'm sure there
should be ways to reset the USB devices but I've never got it to work
properly.

 FWIW I also get stalled downloads where it looks like I get checksum
 errors on the AAL5 level, and corrupted packets come through (i.e.
 SEQ/ACK are out of sequence), which the IP stacks don't like (They seem
 to get thrown away).

Edourd fixed a bug in the AAL code a few days ago. I'm not sure if it ever
triggered but one dropped AAL5 frame can cause a stall in the window size
it quite large on TCP transfers. Again it could be worth trying the latest
CVS.

 This problem I've had for a while... I was going to upgrade my
 microcode, but it looks like i've got the latest (For Linux anyway).

It may be microcode related but a lot of people seem to be running
different versions without any particular issues.

 Can someone mail me a recent windoze firmware version? I can't only
 find the upgrade.exe on alcatel (now Thompson?) website and it will
 only unpack if I have the original drivers loaded, which of course I
 don't on my kids machine...

Sorry, don't have Windows anyway. Is it unzippable?

On a side note I have been in contact with Thompson Multimedia to see if we
can get distribution rights for the microcode but I'm currently waiting on
someone getting back from holiday. I shall let the group once I have a
response.

rmmod usb-uhci
sleep 5
modprobe usb-uhci
sleep 5
modem_run ...

seems to do it for me.

Although that will, of course, reset any other devices too. As my
machine is a minimal setup with just the frog attached, no mouse
or keyboard or screen even, it doesn't give me too many problems :-)

[tim@heisenberg tim]$ uptime
  2:43pm  up 69 days,  4:41,  1 user,  load average: 0.14, 0.05, 0.01
[tim@heisenberg tim]$
  
Although, unfortunately, my connection hasn't managed this. It seems
to fail about once per week although sometimes my ping test fails
because of heavy traffic so it gets restarted anyway.

  FWIW I also get stalled downloads where it looks like I get checksum
  errors on the AAL5 level, and corrupted packets come through (i.e.

Hmm.. I must look at this. I have some problems with some files but I
never seem to get time to investigate properly. There are at least
two redhat 7.2 updates I _cannot_ download from ftp.mirror.ac.uk!

Yup, I was going to suggest this. Try unzip on linux. Allows you to
avoid any of the click licences as well :-)

Ah. Thanks for that...

I got the CVS... It doesn't work too well on my system... The pppoa3 died after
about a minute (Signal11), pppoa2 died after less than a second... Signal 15


I've reverted to the release 1_0 version...

I'll try  find the diff for that fix you mentioned  see if it applies to the
release.

Ok guys i think i've found a pure firmware without any kind of lib, dll, object
header. It was included in the macosx driver with an amazing name with lot of letters 
and numbers
(i don't remember it)

But what is surprising is that best offsets are byte 0 and
(last byte - pattern length). So we know this is a pure
firmware.

What's surprising is the probability, not 100%
87% for start pattern, 100% for end pattern

md5sum:

cb3ddd0a6100d405db7e84b6a12e08a5

I'll try to get the new begining search pattern into modem_run tomorrow.
I'll try to see if firwares have really changed since the 1.3.4 version
for all platforms i can test.

Though you should be careful: under heavy usage of the link, the ping may fail
(that's why pppd is restarted after 3 unsuccessful ping). See
http://www.thinselin.net/~cricket/cricket/grapher.cgi?target=%2Finet%2Fthinselin.netranges=d%3Awview=Ping

and
http://www.thinselin.net/~cricket/cricket/grapher.cgi?target=%2Finterfaces%2Fppp0ranges=d%3Awview=Bytes
to correlate the infos.
Grenouille may also be of some use there:

I should improve this script sometime, but well.
At least, this script logs the provider deconnections from the provider:
