Hello, (Robert here :-0 )
|
|
|
|
The scripts I sent in are for the "built-in" function of ISDN4Linux
|
|
when
|
|
using the rawip/ethernet/... encapsulation. PPP (SyncPPP) encapsulation
|
|
doesnt
|
|
seem to be supported for the "automatic" functions of I4L!
|
|
|
|
MIXING THE SLAVE (autodial/autohangup) functions with SyncPPP doesn't
|
|
work:
|
|
1: reliably- relying on the auto hangup appears to work until the 2nd
|
|
-> 5th
|
|
time. Then the kernel gets "a bit" disturbed.
|
|
|
|
2: Not at all- auto dial never works with syncPPP. As far as I know
|
|
(and can
|
|
see), the only way to add channels to SyncPPP is to
|
|
MANUALLY
|
|
"addlink" and "removelink" the devices. Of course you
|
|
need to
|
|
have the devices pre-defined for the I4L system and for
|
|
the PPP
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
I am still looking over (and into) these issues and hope to have more
|
|
later.
|
|
But for now I must say that the scripts I sent to the FAQ (and the
|
|
list?) are
|
|
for the rawip/ethernet encapsulations. SyncPPP is another animal (user
|
|
space)
|
|
and will require other links between the system (kernel) and the ppp
|
|
program
|
|
(user space).
|
|
|
|
I am also still (ja ja...) porting the ITK Columbus Card driver from
|
|
Frank Mohr
|
|
to the HiSax device driver system. (Thanks Karsten!!)
