Here's a problem I was able to sort out, even after
going through the PPP FAQ and HOWTOs.
I installed a 33k modem from Zoltrix (Rockwell chipset)
and while it works, it works fairly stable, but each
time after I restart the machine, or after a long
delay (many hours of not using the modem
to dialup), it will fail on the first connection
attempt:
Here is an answer from RH Support FAQ:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
6.6 Problems with PPP "double dialing" your ISP
Problem:
Several combinations of modems and ISP services would cause the PPP connection to dial once to the
ISP, hangup, and then redial the number.
Fix:
This problem is due to a race condition in some code for filtering out signals from sub-processes.
You should get the updated PPP package from
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA1999051-01.html or from our updates FTP site.
For detailed instructions on how to install a package, please see our FAQ.
