Its Back. (ppp issues)

[knussear]

Is there anyway to hit the modem with some of the commands below from the command line? It seems to me that if you could write a sh script to cause your modem to powerup before you tried to use internet connect that it might stop the delay and the lockups

There used to be a classic app called zterm that allowed direct dialogue with modems, but it doesn't work in OSX.

Following up on gigi's post, I checked my ppp.log file after the latest lockup. The log had the following in it after the termination of the previous connection:

CCLWrite : +++
CCLWrite : ATH\13
CCLMatched : OK\13\10
CCLWrite : AT&F\13
CCLMatched : OK\13\10
Serial link disconnected.
CCLWrite : AT\13
CCLMatched : OK\13\10
CCLWrite : ATI4\13
CCLMatched : Apple Internal Modem\13\10
CCLWrite : ATI12\13
CCLMatched : S1\13\10
CCLWrite : AT&FL3E0Q0V1X4&C1&K3S95=1&D3S7=75S0=0W2\13
CCLMatched : OK\13\10
CCLWrite : ATM0\13
CCLMatched : OK\13\10
Dialing 8,695-8888
CCLWrite : ATDT8,695-8888\13

During most ppp.log entries, the various CCL lines do not appear before "dialing." The first entry after termination of the previous connections is the line "Dialing."

So, what is CCL? Something to do with communication with the modem? Why does it get to hog the processor?
