I have been using user ppp successfully for quite some time. However,
recently, I have encountered the following problem.
sneezy# ppp -- open up ppp
ppp ON sneezy> set line /dev/cuaa1 -- choose modem
ppp ON sneezy> set speed 19200 -- I have a 14.4 modem
ppp ON sneezy> term -- go to terminal mode
[here I dial into my provider]
ppp ON sneezy> Packet mode. -- starts negotiation
PPP ON sneezy> -- ppp enabled
Like looks ok from here. I can even do normal inet connections, however,
after a minute or so, they will hang, losing all connectivity.
I have tried the above using a script. The script has previously worked,
but now I get the following:
ppp ON sneezy> dial provider -- starts 'provider' script
dial OK! -- connection made
sneezy# -- sent back to shell?
the log shows SIGHUP
If I have root on the console, I'll see the following message in boldface:
rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf050a680) was (0xf0507600)
Looking at the logfile, I'll also see a SIGHUP.
Any clues as to how to get this to work properly?
