Hi, I remeber this bug every time I update my redhat system (need to copy the patched version of wvdial). Am I the only person in the world with this problem? If true, we can close the bug... Thanks! is this still an issue? |
rp3 and wvdial fails when they are trying to initialize some modems. But wvdialconf works fine. The config program send two times a "query" string and the first one is ignored, but the second is ok: ttyS1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK Some modems ignore the first thing they get sent after the program starts... (may be some kind of weird delay after the DTR signal gets raised). The problem is that wvdial (and rp3) dial initialization only use a try, and this kind of modems cannot be initialized. I have wrote a patch and tested it with 3 different modems:Digicom v34, 56k Bets Buy and US Robotics 56k. All works fine with the patch (without it, only the US Robotics worked). It's very simple: If it can be initialize the modem, try two times more :-) Here is it: --- wvdialer.cc.orig Thu Jan 4 16:56:30 2001 +++ wvdialer.cc Thu Jan 4 17:08:50 2001 @@ -460,10 +460,14 @@ this_str = &options.init9; break; } if( !! *this_str ) { - modem->print( "%s\r", *this_str ); - log( "Sending: %s\n", *this_str ); + int init_tries = 0; + do { + init_tries++; + modem->print( "%s\r", *this_str ); + log( "Sending: %s\n", *this_str ); + received = wait_for_modem( init_responses, 5000, true ); + } while (init_tries<=3 && received == -1); - received = wait_for_modem( init_responses, 5000, true ); switch( received ) { case -1: err( "Modem not responding.\n" );
