Hi
My ISP one of the *.campus.mci.net ISPs. They claim only to support
Windoze and refuse to help when I have problems, since I don't use the
M$ os.
When things work they work very, very well. I have had about a year of
consecutive days of connecting the first try any time I try, with only
an occasional disconnect. About a month ago, trouble began.
Now, sometimes my system connects easily, (today for example) other
times the modem does about 3 negotiations, trying to connect at 28.8,
then the script quits.
Sometimes 20 - 30 attempts with pppd will get a connection. Using
kermit, I can program a loop to retry until it conects. I can't start
ppp that way. Is there a way to program the ppp chat script or
otherwise programm a dial loop that will allow me to repeatedly try to
connect and start ppp?
Systgem: I'm running Debian 1.3.1 on a 486dx2/66 16 MB RAM 16550 serial
ports and an external USR 33.6 voice fax modem (that HAS been repaired
by the factory). SCSI disks, trident SVGA and a KFC monitor.
