Can someone help me understand something.
In KPPP under modem, there is a line termination field with 3 choices.
CR, CR/LF, and something else I cannot just ths moment remember.
Googling around I find this to be something to do with the way "line termination" is handled between unix and Dos. I read the spiel on it and it seems to be something to do with inserting the numbers -13-10 in dos line termination, and simply -10- in unix code. Suffice it to say I don't really understand it, but that is beside the point.
I had my modem setting set for CR the unix code line termination criteria, is there a possibility that this just might cause kppp
to return "No Carrier" on it's first ISP cutoff and redial ?
What are the odds that having CR/LF set would cure my problem ?
John
Just CR works here John.
Yes ?
But maybe , just maybe, my modem works with the dos line termination code, and maybe yours works with either dos or unix, but kppp can be set to work either/both ways.
If I have it on unix line termination could it somehow mess up how the modem is thought to be to be available by kppp, so that when kppp asks the modem to redial, it gets back some signal to say the modem is still running.
Maybe not though. That would be like trying to get the modem to do two jobs at once, whensurely kppp wouldn't begin dialing if didn't get back from the modem a signal to say the modem is ready and waiting to dial. It's just that instead of logging in as it does on the first dialup it end with "no carier" instead.
Hmm, I'm flying kites.
It's just that I've now had modem set on CR/LF for 12 hours, I've had numerous ISP cutoffs, but no failed email downoad, and no failed file download ending redialup to "no Carrier" So I'm wondering ?
John
I don't think the line termination is the problem. This has more to do with file format then modems communication. Every modem I have worked with works fine in Windows, DOS, Linux, CP/M, and dumb terminals, with the commands sent to it terminated with a CR (0dh or 13), and with the normal responce terminater with a CR/LF pair. (odh/oah or 13/10) This is the default setting for most modems, and works for any program thagt expects word results. (Programs that expect numeric results are something that we do not need to get into here!)
