[SLUG] stallion PC card 5th port problem

[dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
I am attempting to get the 5th stallion port working for dialing out to
the net on this woody box here.
thatis /dev/ttyE4 (the rest of them do various other things)

When i dial out on this port it handshakes ok and seems to work, but then
PPP gives me this:

Jun 12 13:53:31 firewall chat[29617]: CONNECT
Jun 12 13:53:31 firewall chat[29617]:  -- got it
Jun 12 13:53:31 firewall chat[29617]: send (\d)
Jun 12 13:53:32 firewall pppd[30327]: Serial connection established.
Jun 12 13:53:32 firewall pppd[30327]: Using interface ppp1
Jun 12 13:53:32 firewall pppd[30327]: Connect: ppp1 <--> /dev/ttyE4
Jun 12 13:54:03 firewall pppd[30327]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Jun 12 13:54:03 firewall pppd[30327]: Connection terminated.
Jun 12 13:54:03 firewall pppd[30327]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Jun 12 13:54:03 firewall pppd[30327]: Exit.

I have only seen this when some authentication server or cable is busted
on ADSL. On dialup I would assume its something to do with negotiating the
IP address and or authentication. However the strange thing is that if I
switch serial ports say to /dev/ttyE2 - it works straight away.

There was no /dev/ttyE4 when I started this experiment so I made it with a
/dev/MAKEDEV stallion
that created lots of /dev/ttyE*'s

any ideas?
