Other than that it was fine till now. Netplx the ISP sees no problems. So it looks like the telephone co.. Strange thing the modem always shows it on so it must be losing the the connection(hanging up momentarily) then resuming.. enough to require a reboot. I tried a new modem and the same thing. It happens every 2 hours. I can set my watch by it. Of course the phone co. is placing the blame on my ISP and/or my equipment. -- Ted Sikora Jtl Development Group tsikora@powerusersbbs.com Linux the choice of a GNU generation............
