They're considering charging me for all this extra bandwidth, as they're certain that the problem is on my end. I don't notice the disconnections here, but maybe the ppp process is doing some weirdness that is transparent to me. Here's my ppp.conf: default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) openweb: set authname xxxxxx@xxx.xxx set authkey xxxxxxxx set device PPPoE:dc0 enable dns enable lqr add default HISADDR set dial set login set mru 1492 set reconnect 3 6000 Does anyone see anything suspicious in my configuration that might be causing the problem? I'm going to try switching my GNet modem with a Daewoo, but I'm thinking that the problem probably lies in my ppp.conf settings. Thanks, -- Adam
