A search of the archives for "OpenModem" failed. I suspect these error messages are a red herring. All they're saying is that your redial timer is too small when ppp tries to re-open the modem. There are suggestions in the FAQ http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/userppp.html as to why the line might hang up occasionally. I'd suspect it's either line noise or your ISP's doing it. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <bri@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
