Hi all, I'm in charge of change ppp code to try to speed up connection establishment and redial in case of connection lost as soon as possibly, By reading the FAQ http://ppp.samba.org/FAQ.html I've found ? Q: When the modem hangs up, without the remote system having terminated the connection properly, pppd does not notice the hangup, but just keeps running. How do I get pppd to notice the hangup and exit? A: Pppd detects modem hangup by looking for an end-of-file indication from the serial driver, which should be generated when the CD (carrier detect) signal on the serial port is deasserted. For this to work: The modem has to be set to assert CD when the connection is made and deassert it when the phone line hangs up. Usually the AT&C1 modem command sets this mode. The cable from the modem to the serial port must connect the CD signal (on pin 8). Some serial drivers have a "software carrier detect" mode, which must be *disabled*. The method of doing this varies between systems. Under SunOS, use the ttysoftcar command. Under NetBSD, edit /etc/ttys to remove the "softcar" flag from the line for the serial port, and run ttyflags. So where is this EOF check in the PPPD code? How could I be sure the serial device driver answer with EOF when DCD line is up? Could you please point out this on serial driver code?
