This is also my bet, as software reboot didn't work, and a power down was needed to restore communication. But now the question becomes : how RS-232 chips translates a DCD into ISA bus signals ? I'll check into chips datasheet. Your detailed answer (thank you very much) raise me an other questions : some embedded boards (ex: BeagleBoard) are provided with GPRS modem. But looking at schematics, I notice most of them only connect Rx and Tx between modem and UART/RS-232. How would pppd deal with a lost of carrier in these case ? Is there a way (ex: command) to detect this trought data ?
