Redial tells ppp how/when to redial if it can't connect. Reconnect tells ppp how/when to try again if it's unexpectedly disconnected. If you use ``set redial 10 0'', you're probably using up 2 or 3 of your tries each time by failing to open the modem. It takes your modem a few seconds (3?) to reset itself and the phone line. Try ``set redial 10 3'' instead. > bob > -- > Support Whirled Peas. Business in China?
