6.1 and 6.2 seem to ship with 2.3.11, even though 6.2 release notes claim pppd has been improved!
We’re having occasional problems with a Win2k ‘dial-in’ (simple serial coms affair, not over modem) when the pppd on QNX never replies, and suspect pppd.
Thanks to the open source movement a few years ago when QNX6 was first released, QSS released some source code at cvs.qnx.com . Though neither additions nor updates have been made since, pppd 2.3.x is there
I suggest you checkout that code, compare with the stock pppd 2.3.x and find out the changes. You can then merge them into the pppd 2.4 and hola !
2.4 is in next release (6.3), I think it is 2.4.1 but don’t quote me on that
I don’t think version number have anything to do with “pppd never replies”.
Are you sure datas are get into the pppd ? If you run a “qtalk” on the QNX side,
does it sees win2k’s sending characters ? Does “pppd logfd 2 nodetach debug” share any light?
Does “cat /dev/socket/pppmgr” show any bytes being transfered/received ?
