Sorry, I was going to add a few of my own logs to show the problem
# peoples names are dialin accunts. CLIENT is different clients and all
dialout

if you notice, 1 modem may be real bad here but in other places on different
clients it's better and yet this client might be OK on different modems?????
And yet if I can find another log further down, it might show the same modem
for johnf connected for days with no problem... It's basically all over the
place.

Subject: RH 6.1 -> 6.2
Hi y'all,
Since I upgraded our RedHat 6.1 to RedHat 6.2, I'm having weird problems
with my 8 modems hanging off my Stallion board.
No hardware has been changed and all the scripts have been used from the old
server setup.
The problem is that I'm only getting a few minutes connection time on my PPP
dial ups coming in and/or going out on ANY modem.
I have 1 client for some reason that has a rock solid connection and stays
up no problems. And this is with any modem. There is no error in the logs
except that it just dropped the link.
The only difference is the RedHat version really. I've tried applying the
AT+MS=11,1 to slow the connections down and still drops out at different
times.
Is there any known weird problems with pppd 2.3.11 that I haven't seen?
thanks,
George Vieira
