One of our portmaster PM30e hung today (at that time there was a
combination of PPP/SLIP logins and telnet to a server). The really BAD part
is that two of telnet users drop their line when the portmaster hung and
try to reconnect immediately and they end up in the other person's login
session.
It seems that during the hung, the portmaster didn't know the modem have
dropped the line and when the it comes out of the hanging state, the
users has already reconnect but to the "wrong" ports!
This is a very big security problem and need to be solved ASAP!!!!!!
