I was playing Q3F the other night and I was noticing some really laggy network behavior. Nothing new since I'm in a 56K modem, but it eventually cleared up. A few minutes later, I was disconnected from the ISP (Q3A users will recognize this from the related error messages in the console, etc). I left my game of Fortress (all angry and stuff since I prolly had 20+ frags in the first 5-10 minutes of the map) and I checked to see how pppd was doing with the redial... I was noticing that the system wasn't connecting to the ISP nor were the PIDs changing (the sign of a redial). So, I dropped the interface myself, then brought it back up.. same deal. Ok, dropped it again. Fired up minicom. I was greeted by a "Data Pump Failure" error message which just repeated over and over on the same line (all \r's with no \n's in cheap C programmer talk). I hadn't seen such a thing before (in this context at least), so I exited minicom (via alt+a,x) and after a second, the terminal dropped to a blank screen, but it hadn't returned to the bash prompt. I killed that process. I tried it again.. same thing. I then tried to do an 'echo "ATZ" > /dev/ttyS2' and it just hung. So, I am guessing that my lil echo command coincides with the hang after minicom. I did manage to fix the problem.. by rebooting (had I known of a better way...). Does anyone have any insight as to what might have happened?
