Hi, This may sound like a stupid question, but from what I have experienced so far, the best SLIP/PPP connection up time I can get is 2 days, but with normal termincal access dial-up, the line just seems to be never dropping at all. This makes me wonder is there any difference between normal terminal dial-up program (kermit, minicom etc) monitor line/connection and SLIP/PPP process? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ M.C Wong Email: mcw@hpato.aus.hp.com Australian Telecom Operation Voice: +61 3 272 8058 Hewlett-Packard Australia Ltd Fax: +61 3 898 9257 31 Joseph St, Blackburn 3130, Australia OS: FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 http://hpautow.aus.hp.com:9999/~mcw/mcw.html (or http://hpautorf/~mcw)
