I'm using pppd 2.1.2 running on Linux 1.3.20 for incoming PPP
modem connections.
The script is something like
exec /usr/sbin/pppd connect '...' -detach silent modem /dev/cua1 38400
with '...' being a 'chat' script that picks up the phone (no
login/password procedure).
This works most of the time, but sometimes it suddenly locks up the
machine.
The hardware is nothing special: a 14K4 modem, the usual COM port
(16550?), a Dell 486.
Any ideas?
