Summary: ISDN outgoing calls often fails when used on satellite
systems
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.18.8
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: ISDN
AssignedTo: drivers_isdn at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: francois at goudal.net
CC: francois at goudal.net
Latest working kernel version: none, as far as I know
Distribution: Debian 3.1
Hardware Environment: x86 machine + AVM Fritz! PCMCIA ISDN adapters
Problem Description:
When used on a satellite system, the I4L stack often fails to establish
outgoing calls. This is due to timeouts in the I4L code that are more easily
triggered because of the latency introduced by the satellite link. On an
inmarsat system, I have faced more than 50% of failures, which is not really
acceptable.
Steps to reproduce:
Buy an Inmarsat satcom system ;-) (Thrane M4, for example)
Connect your AVM Fritz ISDN card to it
Install the I4L driver (You probably prefer CAPI but you don't want the
proprietary drivers from AVM so you don't have much choice)
Try to make linux dial a phone/dialup server on the ground using the satcom
system.
Repeat the dialout several times, some of the attempts are probably going to
fail.
