Topic: HTTPS

[Rolf]

Hi,

I'm running e-smith 3.1 to connect a LAN of 12 PC's to a university network, using
(so far) dial-up access. I upgraded diald to 0.99

However, there is sometimes some noise on the phoneline, causing the phone on the other
end to drop the link, while diald seems to stay connected (according to the logs).

This might have to do with some windoze boxes sending out all kind of weird broadcasts to find
a printserver or dump/load some packages somewhere. So I set all timeouts (in diald.filters)
quite low. However, there is one protocol I'd like to give a longer 'accept' timeout.

This is the secure HTTP: HTTPS. Is there a way to put this in an accept line in diald.filters?

Regards,
Rolf

6.8 I have really bad phone lines that freeze up. Can I get diald to notice?
If you are using ppp then you can use the lcp-echo-interval and lcp-echo-failure options to manage this. For example, adding

pppd-options lcp-echo-interval 10 lcp-echo-failure 2

to your diald configure file will set up pppd so that it will attempt to send an LCP echo-request if it has not received a packet in the last 10 seconds. If pppd sends 2 LCP echo-requests without receiving a reply, it will terminate.

If you are using SLIP then you can use the keepalive and/or outfill options to achieve the same effect. See the diald manual page for more information.

This will be enabled automatically (with an interval of 30 seconds) in E-smith 4.0.
