I have been getting periods of no modem activity in the middle of downloads and POP3 fetches of my mail when there is not reason for such. Possibly it's happening to you too and your provider is dropping the connection. I think there may be something wrong with user mode ppp in current right now (though I haven't updated the system it's happenning on for 2+ weeks - it's making the world now). I'm not complaining yet as I haven't investigated yet (I haven't increased my logging and looked at the logs). I think there have been a couple of other people mentioning something is wierd with their user ppp as well (Piere ?). Sent to the list for comments from others.... More info on my configuration will be forthcoming when I get home.
