Title: Dial-up modem support broke in 4.1.2
Post by: Peter W on July 31, 2001, 05:59:04 PM

Can anyone confirm one way or another if there is a real problem with dial-up support in 4.1.2

I am at my witts end having spent many hours trying to track down the problem.

Regards

I used to have a external ISDN-Adapter ( ELSA ISDN TLPro ) connected to
my 4.1.2 Server before I switched to DSL, which was working fine.

Hi Peter, you would not be trying to connect to BT by any chance?

I'm working an a similar problem. Have a look at http://www.blokland.co.uk/Kees/docs/e-smith/isdn4es.htm for some tips on getting more debug info. At the bottom of the page you find a more uptodate page and some logfiles.. It's not a complete story, just making some notes as I go along.

Hope this helps a bit, if nothing else you can show what you get and who knows, someone will spot the problem?

The most recent 'feature' I'm working on is that the ntpd throws a tantrum, but only when connecting through a modem/isdn link. Connecting through an external router works fine.

I don't think ES is broke, I suspect more BT is doing something funny somewhere.

By the way, connecting to BT with a smoothwall box in between the ES and BT works fine, (Smoothwall or any single floppy router)
 
Hope this gets you started..
