While I am on the web or doing downloads, things work fine and I can be on for hours at a time , but as soon as I do something which requires short, quick blips back and forth between myself and another machine (in particular, checking my mail, finger, ICQ), the modem disconnects. Any ideas what the problem might be? I'm currently running FreeBSD 2.1.7 with the new, hacked version of ppp, which was obtained from the FreeBSD site. Thanks in advance, Andrew Stevens.
