Package: ppp Version: 2.4.3-20050321+2 When I'm using the persist option and my ISP hangs up, the ppp is not redialing to reconnect.
Here's a typical output: user $ pon <myisp> persist output of 'plog -f' follows: Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: report (CONNECT) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: abort on (BUSY) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: abort on (VOICE) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: abort on (NO DIAL TONE) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: abort on (NO ANSWER) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: abort on (DELAYED) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: send (ATZ^M) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ATZ^M^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: send (ATQ0^M) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ATQ0^M^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: send (ATV1^M) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ATV1^M^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: send (ATE1^M) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ATE1^M^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: send (ATS0=0^M) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: ATS0=0^M^M Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:07 localhost chat[5634]: send (AT&C1^M) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: AT&C1^M^M Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: send (AT&D2^M) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: AT&D2^M^M Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: send (AT+FCLASS=0^M) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: expect (OK) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: AT+FCLASS=0^M^M Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: OK Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: send (ATW2DT<myispno>^M) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: expect (CONNECT) Jun 12 08:22:08 localhost chat[5634]: ^M Jun 12 08:22:39 localhost chat[5634]: ATW2DT<myispno>^M^M Jun 12 08:22:39 localhost chat[5634]: CONNECT Jun 12 08:22:39 localhost chat[5634]: -- got it Jun 12 08:22:39 localhost chat[5634]: send (\d) Jun 12 08:22:40 localhost pppd[5632]: Serial connection established.

Maybe the problem relates to the tcgetattr line?? BTW, when I'm making a connection, the 'persist' option does seem to work, because a failed connection will keep redialing until a successful connection occurs. It's just he 'modem handup' situation when 'persist' fails to reconnect that is a problem. hacker
