[ILUG] 128K ISDN - UTV Internet

[Declan Grady]

I had this problem before, and didnt get it solved.

I use a 64K isdn connection to iol and eircom without problems, but when I
try to use UTV's dialup service I keep getting disconnected after 1 minute.
(I have separate copies of /etc/ppp/ippp0.d/options and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ippp0 for each isp, which I copy into
place with a script)

i.e. to change to eircom, i have a script called eircom :
---
echo "Bringing down isdn interface"
ifdown ippp0
echo "Overwriting files"
cp /etc/ppp/ippp0.d/options.eircomnet /etc/ppp/ippp0.d/options
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ippp0.eircomnet
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ippp0
echo "Starting isdn interface again"
ifup ippp0
echo "Done"
---

I have successfully managed to use IBOD to automagically bring up the 2nd
channel and get a 128K connection to UTV but the same thing happens after a
minute.

I dont think its a lack of traffic, as I have tried constantly refreshing a
page in my browser client, but it seem to make no difference.

How can I find out why it's hanging up ?

Extract from my syslog below.

Thanks,
Declan
