Hi Olivier,
Please excuse the reply in English, but my French is terrible.
I had the same problem and I am also running RedHat 7.2, so hopefully this
will help....
My solution to this was to write a CRON script which pings yahoo.com every
10 minutes. If the ping fails, then the modem is taken off-line and
restarted.
The log is below.
Some explanations of this.....
I like to have a system log that I can browse and check things have been OK,
so I use the "logger" command a lot. This is entirely optional.
I have changed the STUSB file to make it work reliably on my machine. It is
a very old Pentium 133 and it has the "Intel Corporation 430VX - 82437VX TVX
[Triton VX] (rev 2)" chipset, which is well known to have problems. As a
result, I put in a lot of extra lines to ensure that all the processes are
properly killed "kill_all xxxxx" then "killall -9 xxxxx". Sometimes I used
to get processes left, and they caused problems. This is almost certainly
down to my very odd PC, so I haven't raised all this back to the group. I
plan to fit a new USB card in it anyway.
Good luck with this.
Best regards,
Roger

Subject: [speedtouch] Script de reconnexion automatique
Hello,
j'utilise monmodem speedtouch sur ma RH 7.2 sans probleme, maisj'ai une
deconnection (ou deconnexion je sais pas trop) qui arrive tous les 2/3
jours. Est-ce qu'il existe un script de reconnection automatique????
Merci et @+
Olivier
