Does it make sense that maybe I need to somehow record the modem commands that Windows sends to initialize? COuld that be part of the problem? Then i could include these in my initialization string. I've tried both ISP's, and both kick me off at irregular intervals, sometimes immediately after login. (script based) Setup: (to avoid the Ariel syndrome ;-) 3.3 Stable Toshiba laptop, PCMCIA modem ISP uses script-based login on Ascend(t?) terminal servers I have been told to disable X2 and even V90, but this seems to have no effect. The FAQ suggested disabling all compression... no change. A 'log ascync' command shows one Read line that doesn't terminate with a 0x7E like the rest seem to. This is the last data received before i get 'Carrier Lost' from ppp. This is my biggest remaining peeve with FreeBSD.. i'd really like to iron it out. -jonathon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
