From fnaumann@mail.cs.uni-magdeburg.de Tue Mar 30 10:43:54 2004 Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 03:38:27 -0500 (EST) From: Jim DeClercq To: mint_list Subject: [MiNT] pppd minor problems Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Delivered-To: mint@fishpool.com Delivered-To: mint@lists.fishpool.fi X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: mint-bounce@lists.fishpool.fi Errors-to: mint-bounce@lists.fishpool.fi X-original-sender: jimd@panix.com Precedence: bulk List-help: List-unsubscribe: List-ID: X-List-ID: Now that this thing, pppd, works, it will not shut off, and it will not restart. Killing the process does not stop the process, and turn my modem off. After the ISP finally kills the link, the process shows, to ifconfig, as still running. In order to start pppd again, it requires a shutdown and reboot. Better than nothing, of course. It has been so long since pppd last worked, that I do not know what I had for a socket device xdd file. Could that be a problem? And if so, which one works best on a TT030. MiNT 1.15.12, N-AES, NVDI, HDDriver? Or, what simple thing am I still missing? Or is this hard disk in the process of failing too? The only things changed in my MiNT.cnf file is three defintions of tmp, and a gemar.xfs that cannot find a file it needs. Could it be serial cpx, which got added to put things back to where they were, after wvdial did something strange. It did find my modem, but could not dial. Or at least I did not play with it enough to get it working. It seems to tell my modem more that it needs to know, and may get it confused. Any suggestions, no matter what, will be gratefully considered. BTW, the only way I have ever gotten MiNT to shut down is to start a shell in TosWin2, and type "shutdown". N-closure does nothing, but looks pretty. -- /"\ Jim DeClercq--jimd@panix.com--Sylvania, Ohio, USA \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | I'm a .signature virus! | X against HTML mail | Copy me into your ~/.signature| / \ and postings | to help me spread! | .
