Hi all,
I'm having a small problem here with diald. I got an rpm
that came with SuSe 6.2 and it has a version 0.99 on it
which is confusing, because as I understand the latest
diald version was 0.16 or some such, but that's beside
the point. I have several questions which I hope to get answers
to:
1) My system does not have /dev/sl0 and for the life of me
I cannot find anywhere the major/minor numbers for the sl?
devices. Anyone has them, or am I missing something?
2) Because of (1) I could not get diald to work initally, but
after studying the logs I found that it could also use
ethertap devices, which I know how to use, so I compiled
them in and created the devices as per docs, so now
diald can dialout as its supposed to, HOWEVER, after
the link is dropped due to inactivity, for some reason the
tap0 device is switched to DOWN state, which prevents
diald from setting a default route to it, which results in inability
to establish all follow up connections.
If, while diald is running, i bring tap0 up and set default
route to it manually - everything works, until the connection is
dropped again and the story repeats.
Any reason why diald is *downing* tap0 and why it
can't bring it back up?
3) A small problem I had in between, was that chat
was complaining that it could not get terminal parameters
when diald would call it in order to dial out. I solved that
problem by specifying
connect "chat -f /etc/ppp/chat.script < /dev/modem > /dev/modem"
(added > /dev/modem < /dev/modem). Is there a better
solution?
Hope someone can explain these mysteries to me...
TIA
