Hi
Just thought I'd run this by the list to see if any one has suggestions.
I've recently installed the speedtouch modem on a FreeBSD 4.5 box with the
1.1rc2 drivers. The modem connects fine and all is well, except (and I'm
sure this is down to my ISP) I get "frequent" disconnections. By frequent I
mean about once a day, but for ADSL I guess that's frequent. I've noticed
this with BT Openworld even under Linux using Alcatel (kernel) drivers so
I'm fairly sure it a BT thing.
However, that's not the problem - the problem comes when I try to reconnect.
If I do
killall modem_run
killall ppp
followed by
usr/local/sbin/modem_run -v 2 -f /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o
reconnection fails. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I repeat the
above command (with and without a -m option) or how long I leave it; I issue
the command and it just seems to hang.
If I now pull the USB cable from the machine and wait a couple of seconds
and reconnect the cable and then re-issue the above command all works fine
again. I could live with, except this box is my server and is in a not too
readily accessible place, so having to physically access it to
disconnect/reconnect the cable is a pain.
Does anyone have any ideas about this. Obviously the state of something is
not being re-set properly, but I'm not sure what. I'm really not sure if
this is a problem with the speedtouch drivers or something to do with USB on
FreeBSD.
Thanks
John
I've included some log output below (sorry - it's a bit long):
