[SLUG] iiNet - not Mozilla friendly
It seems that iiNet (http://iinet.net.au) have "improved" their account
management tools such that they will no longer work with Mozilla.
Is it just me, or have they really just taken this step backward?
Also - I'm having a shocking time with my DSL connection at the moment.
The link light goes out for an hour or so once or twice a day. Is this
just Telstra once again demonstrating their brilliance, or is it
possible iiNet are screwing up this too?

month when I lived in the 'states}

Have you still got the serial cable that came with the modem? If so you need to plug it into a spare serial port, bark up your favourite comms program (like minicom) and connect at 9600,8,N,1 You can then do a itex mode auto at the prompt and then config save at the prompt and it should change the way it detects the line sync. Our customer was on Pacific Internet connecting to the Hornsby exchange, and it worked fairly well. After rebooting, the line sync came back and stayed back. If you want to check your itex mode before changing it, I have forgotten the command, but google or dlink.com.au may help. This may of course have nothing to do with it, as you could just have line noise from the rain we have been having (or something else completly).

I can talk to the modem now. > You can then do a itex mode auto at the prompt and then config save at the > prompt and it should change the way it detects the line sync. Where can I read up on the commands? If I type help when connected to the modem it lists the commands (including itex), but does not explain what they do :-/ I've looked in the manual - even downloaded the latest from d-link, but I've found no clear description. > This may of course have nothing to do with it, as you could just have line > noise from the rain we have been having (or something else completly). Well, things have been flaky all this year. I had no problems at all in 2002, but so far 2003 has not been good for the link light on my modem :-( Many thanks, Bruce -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] iiNet - not Mozilla friendly
I don't know where you can read up on commands. A google for that command reveals you should probably do an itex line down before issuing the itex mode auto. I am only going off what someone at PI said to me. you could try a help itex command - often that works. maybe i go auto confused with ansi: http://adsl.cutw.net/dlink-ansi.txt try that... dave > Where can I read up on the commands?

I believe Telstra has been doing a lot of work in the background upgrading things and this hasn't helped the stability of the DSL networks.
