Description David Eyer 2001-05-03 14:49:18 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686)

Description of problem:
When using the RH PPP Dialer under the program->internet option in the main
menu, the program executes and correctly attaches to the ISP.  After
running for anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes the modem looses the
connection and cannot successfully auto redial.  A message is displayed
informing the user that rp3 has crashed and to submit a bug report.  The
application has never stayed up longer that an hour.  Eventually the redial
option will attemp to dial the phone, or send some signal to the modem, but
never works again.  I can connect later by killing the ppp process and the
wvdial process but the same problem reappears shortly afterwords.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Execute the RH PPP Dialer from the main menu
2.Connect to the ISP
3.Wait for less than 30 minutes and the message the application has
crzashed will appear.  No recovery except to kill the processes on the
process list and rerun.  Same problem will occur shortly afterwards.
	

Actual Results:  Only have internet access for 30 minutes at a time.  Had
no problems with this option using RH 7.0.
