[hsflinux] ppd exit 16 error

[Jayant Roplekar]

Marc and others,

thank you for your work to create the linmodem drivers. I am using
hsflinmodem-5.03.03.L3mbsibeta02110301.tar.gz with a 2.4.20-rc1 kernel I i
compiled.  Distro I am using mandrake 9 (upgraded from 8.1), the modem is
00:0b.0 Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k HSFi Modem (rev 01).

The connection happens ok with kppp but connections drop  at random times
2, 5,6,7 minutes  as has been mentioned before & I know guys are trying to 
find
a fix.  The reason I am reporting this is although my soundcard is ac97 on a
shuttle ak31a motherboard with via kt266a chipset, I got the connection drop
even after disabling the  onboard sound from bios menu. And the sound 
drivers i
for via-8233 are not at all loaded ever in my above kernel as I am yet to i
compile those modules. The only sound modules loaded are:

snd-pcm-oss            37636   0  (autoclean) (unused)
snd-pcm                59520   0  (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-timer              10888   0  (autoclean) [snd-pcm]
snd-mixer-oss          12472   0  (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd                    26604   0  (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer 
sn
d-mixer-oss]


I have not tried wvdial as there was a compile error with wvstream, would 
try again later.

Following are the pppd logs and the driver log for the sake of completeness.
Please let me know if I can contribute anything to tracking this down 
further.
