Hi. I still did not give up a dream of SpeedTouch working reliably on my gateway computer. I set up ASDL connection on my desktop computer running Mandrake 9.1 and was able to connect without any problems. Also downloading problematic all-ones file went smoothly. Of course, the desktop machine and gateway machine use (very) different hardware, though they use the very same kernel 2.4.27. The only difference is, that desktop computer uses usb-ohci driver for USB and gateway uses usb-uhci (or just uhci) driver.
This means that there is no problem with modem itself or its initialization using modem_run. It also seems that both userland and kernel driver are working properly (hats off). I suspect that there is a problem somewhere between uhci driver and modem (maybe pci or something). But when I check logs in locked-up state I can see that URBs are successfuly submited. This is claimed by both speedtouch and uhci driver. Question (maybe a little off-topic for this list) is: "Does is mean that data was successfully received by modem ?" If it is so, this might mean only one thing - data ARE sent by modem, but the reponses are stuck somewhere (possibly en route from modem). There is also one more interesting issue. That all-ones file can lock up my connections when downloaded from Internet but does no harm when uploaded the other way. I set up http server on my home machine and downloaded the file from "outside". The connection survived this test. I know I asked this many times before but: anyone has an idea where the problem could be ? Thanks for all your help and advices, I really appreciate it.
