It's another sighting of that darn Supra Express! Burton Sampley seems to have
the same modem and doesn't see any of the problems that me and other seem to
experience. I guess this does support the sio theory a little better. Last
night apparently one of PacBell's switches broke, so, my pppd, as I found out
in the morning, redialed hundreds upon hundreds of times without a reboot. This
with the SNAP sio.c, we'll see how this goes. I find it rather hard to believe
no one else in -current runs an external modem with pppd though.
Interesting.
