I have a vanilla 4.10 machine that was absolutely incapable of using a Courier v. everything modem, a modem that had been usable on every linux/windows/bsd box I ever put it on. But on *this* machine it, too, would only rarely even negotiate a connection, and when it did it would drop it after a couple minutes. I did two things (not very scientific, but it's My Way): I got a different modem (Hayes Accura 33/56k) and I asked my ISP for some different dialin numbers. I only rarely get dropped now; usually if I'm streaming radio or listening to real audio streams, and the negotiation, while not as fast as my old Slackware box, goes through quickly. Some of their numbers just don't like BSD handshakes, some do. Hope this helps. Even better, I hope this has already been solved for you. r ---------- I'd rather flunk my Wassermann Test Than read the poems of Edgar Guest. - Auden On Sun, 10 Oct 2004, Feng Sian wrote: > Igor, > > Em Dom, 2004-10-03 =E0s 15:51, Igor Pokrovsky escreveu: > > Probably your link to ISP just drops. > > Consider using pppd, it has an ability to reconnect to ISP. > > I also have thought that it should be that.
