And here something strange happened - ping got killed, i.e. : no longer received echoes from remote side. The telnet didn't get through : as well. The line seemed dead. In addition to routed related advice I can add the following: Use -l slattach switch only if your modem reports that carrier is always on. Use "-r redial.script" if your modem DCD line state corresponds the state of data carrier. If you don't need to redial, just wait for carrier in redial.script Oleg
