Well, i tried changing the timeout to zero, and i thought that helped, but i am still getting dropped. I tried a variety of modem commands suggested by the ISP to restore factory settings, turn off X2, V90, and various sundry features. What happens is this: first, a Netscape page request seems to take longer than usual... as if the site does not exist. However, at this point, ping is still finding a route to my gateway. Then, netscape reports a few minutes later than it cannot locate the site. At this point, ping fails and netstat -rn reports that the default routes have all been dropped, leaving only loopback. All of this happens even when i am actively using the net, so i don't think it is the timeout. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
