First: I could swear there was a script floating around
to have your machine dial up your ISP & email the IP
address to you. I thought it was in an early issue of
Linux Gazette. Does anyone know if & where I might find
such a creature?
I'd write it myself, except I'm frustrated with my ppp
dial up script as it is. It worked fine under some old
slackware distribution, but when I upgraded completely
to Debian hamm (I now run slink) I began having one minor
problem: after dialing up & turning off the connection
the modem would be 'hung' and I have to run the hylafax
probemodem script.
Last night I read some man pages (very large thankyou to
those involved with setting up the HTML documentation
structure) and thought I discovered the problem in the
closing_waits of setserial. closing_wait2seems 'stuck'
at infinte.
Anyhow, I'm attaching the setserial output and my ppp
scripts. TIA!!!
Cheers,
judith
