I could reproduce this problem with ISDN and ipppd. When the connection seems
to be blocked on the second dial, then there is a duplicate entry in the
routing table:

{harri@bilbo:harri 1} netstat -nr
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
146.225.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 ippp0
146.225.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 ippp0

The default route disappeared somehow.

I am not sure whether this is a kernel problem or a problem with ipppd.


Regards

Harri
