Yes, that is correct. Only trying to send SMS -or- running PPP at any given time.

Thanks

Jesse,

Yes, the same happens with the original binary. Running as “/usr/bin/sms -d /dev/ttyUSB3 –verbose send -f /tmp/junk 4146598013”, we see the same read timeout from atcmd.c, about 20% of the time:

preparing for send…

[ERROR] phonebook.c:phonebook_list_get:294: listing failed

[WARNING] sms_send.c:do_send:252: failed to get phonebook list

sending message to 4146598013

[NOTICE] atcmd.c:atcmd_read:284: read timeout

sending message to 4146598013 failed

#

The error happens after the PDU is written to the modem, and as I mentioned, the message is received on the handset.

I have also since noticed very similar behavior with pppd. I have a chat script called ‘gsm’ in /etc/ppp/peers correctly configured to use the GSM modem on /dev/ttyUSB3. It also fails a certin percentage of times:

# pppd call gsm

GSM chat

Connect script failed

#

Resulting fro mthe above, we see this in /var/log/messages:

Jul 4 08:41:38 mtcdp daemon.notice pppd[3132]: pppd 2.4.3 started by root, uid 0

Jul 4 08:41:39 mtcdp local2.err chat[3136]: Can’t get terminal parameters: Input/output error

Jul 4 08:41:39 mtcdp daemon.err pppd[3132]: Connect script failed

Jul 4 08:41:39 mtcdp daemon.info pppd[3132]: Exit.

It feels like there’s an issue with the USB device driver. I don’t have another version of the CDP to play with to see if the problem exists unsing a different port.

Thanks

Where does it stop for you? For me, the initial build creates a whole lot of other packages also (libpam, mysql, etc).

For me it stops while building mysql5-native. A call to do_abi_check fails, and the make stops due to some newer change in gcc. There’s some patches out there on mysql.com that I’m looking at.
