dialup disconnection

zovres · 05-10-2003, 11:49 PM

I just set up my 56k conexant modem

but unfortunately I have really frequent disconnections under redhat8.0, I raised the timeout but that doesn't solve the problem

am I missing something? I don't know what I can configure and where since I'm quite a newbie :\

any help appreciated thx

I had the same problem - I know it isn't right, but raising the timeout didn't have any effect for me and, in frustration, I just deleted the timeout line altogether and it started working. If you get a better solution, I'll be interested.

Friends...two solutions. A) Use external serial modem to the RS-232 port of YOUR system Motherboard in YOUR Linux Box. The interface includes integrated chip that does the work that the software does on PCI modems. 5 minute install to the internet. B) Use PCI modem<s> that require much time and much software. They can work, if YOU put the time in. IMHO, use the RS-232 connection. The Linux Kernel supports the connection,...it is more reliable.
