PPP - LINUX v.s. Winbloz

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Well Gert,

	It looks like my trusty USR is fighting it's last fight. (sigh)

	I have an "off" brand 56K that I snagged due to it's wonderful speed
and compatibilty with LINUX and put it online.
	Although it pukes on the voice, the data/fax worked flawlessly. So we
did a tad more testing, and it's the USR that is causing the "lack of route"
(shrug).
	When I dial out, it's flawless, when I use it for voice, it's flawless,
when I dial IN......well, things get a tad strange. When I dial in direct
(minicom), I log in fine, but I end up with L O N G pauses. Even as I'm typing
in commands. If I come in via PPP, I log on fine, but then ( I "think" it
pauses ) I can't get any route, ftp, telnet, ssh, ping, etc.
	I DO have one question, is there a way to reset the modem to "defaults"
and verify them? I don't remember ever changing any of the settings, but.......
