I recently got a modem for my Linux server, and it seem to have some
problems. When I first connect it seems to work okay, but after a
varying
amount of time (5-15 min) I see the following log messages:
Jan 30 18:21:21 server pppd[255]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x1
magic=0x8e98729b]
Jan 30 18:21:23 server pppd[255]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x1
magic=0x1742385f]
That's not your modem doing that, its the ppp program.
Perhaps you have the 'persist' option in your /etc/ppp/peers/provider
file (it may be named something else) set. The code you included is
a 'ping' to keep the connection going. Read the script /usr/bin/pon
and see what the name of the option file (in the 'call' command on
the command line following /usr/sbin/pppd) is. Look in
/etc/ppp/peers/<filename>.
