Hi,
Lately, ever since I upgraded to 1.3.8+,
my modem drops the line something severe.
I've been told that it most likely
has nothing to do with the kernel
tcp/ip system ... that it is the modem
that drops it; so it's the modems fault.
I would like to test it with another
modem but I do not have one.
... I have configured the kernel with
#
# Network device support
#
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_SLIP=y
CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED=y
CONFIG_SLIP_SMART=y
Is there some AT modem command that I can
give my dip script that will try and make
the modemkeep the line alive better?
Currently I have in my dip script:
speed 38400
init ATZX3S0=0
echo on
send ATQ0V1E1X3\r
We need the X3 in Australia for Zoom VFP modems
( maybe for all modems ?? )
Any ideas gretly appreciated.
++thanks;
Cheers,
Rob
