In the field test reports are saying the modem is getting reset upon suspend while the trying to connect. Think the 15 second, 5 second if your in suspend and don't have any other user activity, sleep loop may not allow enough time to have the modem complete the pppd handshake and bring up the interface. > i assume using the > existing usb-inhibits is impractical because of the variety of > devices, is that right? > Yes, that is the reason.
