Hi, I connect to my provider using PPP over isdn4linux and a Teles card. All works well except for one thing:
Sometimes I start Netscape (say) to read news. I read news for a while then decide it's enough. Then I execute "isdnctrl hangup ippp0" which hangs up the connection just fine. Everything is cool so far. However, if I suddenly decide to quit Netscape, the trouble starts. The ISDN connection comes back up with not data to transfer :-( I lokk at the process table, it contains no process that could possibly want to transfer NNTP data, but still, netstat shows me a "news" network connection that is (usually) in state FIN_WAIT_1. I don't think Netscape is the problem: it happens with the Emacs Gnus newsreader as well. Note that the trouble starts only when I quit the program: I can hang up the ISDN connection at any time then resume newsreading later without any problem, as long as I leave the newsreader running. What's the story? tia, kai -- I wonder why nobody don't like me, or is it de fact dat I'm ugly? -- Harry Belafonte -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
