Every once in a while my modem won't respond to "pon" I have tried to see a pattern in the freezeup but haven't found one. I ran plog after the last incident:
~$ plog Jan 28 13:34:13 XYF chat[830]: expect (OK) Jan 28 13:34:35 XYF pppd[840]: pppd 2.3.5 started by kent, uid 1000 Jan 28 13:34:35 XYF pppd[840]: Device ttyS0 is locked by pid 829 Jan 28 13:34:35 XYF pppd[840]: Exit. Jan 28 13:34:58 XYF pppd[829]: Connect script failed Jan 28 13:34:58 XYF chat[830]: alarm Jan 28 13:34:58 XYF chat[830]: Failed Jan 28 13:35:04 XYF pppd[845]: pppd 2.3.5 started by kent, uid 1000 Jan 28 13:35:04 XYF pppd[845]: Device ttyS0 is locked by pid 829 Jan 28 13:35:04 XYF pppd[845]: Exit. I see the message says the modem is locked up by "pid 829" but I have no idea what that means. This happens only once every few days but when it happens I have to do a complete shutdown to get the modem to work again; a reboot won't do it. Anyone know how to deal with this? Here is plog when I can hookup, if it helps: $ plog Jan 28 13:47:19 XYF chat[231]: ATDT4848144^M^M Jan 28 13:47:19 XYF chat[231]: CONNECT Jan 28 13:47:19 XYF chat[231]: -- got it Jan 28 13:47:19 XYF chat[231]: send (\d) Jan 28 13:47:20 XYF pppd[230]: Serial connection established.
