Trasmission Problems With Terminal Adapters
Support knowledgebase (thallma_ta_receive-all)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: All versions
Symptom
Either you experience trasmission problems with your terminal adapter or
the connection works smoothy only when you reduce the connection speed
between your terminal adapter and the provider.
It may also occur that your terminal adapter hangs up after a few seconds.
Cause
Your system does not accept data packages labelled as bad frame.
This is shown e.g. by the following message in your /var/log/messages:
Oct 4 01:47:16 pandora kernel: ppp: frame with bad fcs, length = 6
Oct 4 01:47:16 pandora kernel: ppp: bad frame, count = 6
Oct 4 01:47:16 pandora kernel: FF C0 00 21 BE 7B
Solution
Insert the following line in your/etc/ppp/options:
receive-all
Note: This approach works with terminal adapters only, but not
with modems!
