Bug 64488 – gnome-ppp fails to support 56k speeds

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description postmodern 2004-09-18 02:10:22 UTC]

gnome-ppp fails to allow the user to set modem speed to 57600 baud. gnome-ppp dosn't even let the user set the baud rate anywhere near the maximum analog speed of 57600 baud. This results in the baud rate being set insanely high and analog dialouts impossible. Thus rendering gnome-ppp useless for the average dialup user.

Reproducible: Always

what version?

Note  version 0.3.16 exists on their home page. Can you see if that still has the same problem?

It was of the time of discovery version 0.3.13. Sadly I'm currently away from the host machine where I could test gnome-ppp with the serial modem so I guess its time to file this bug into the depths of the bugzilla.

OK, i forgot that :/ I'll fix it in the next version

Hi vladeck,
I got this:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/tmp/portage/portage/gnome-ppp-0.3.17/work/gnome-ppp-0.3.17/intl'
Making install in po
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/tmp/portage/portage/gnome-ppp-0.3.17/work/gnome-ppp-0.3.17/po'

I could do install manually. But it would be better if mkinstalldirs exists in gnome-ppp ;)
