Hi Odhiambo, at+csq will tell you the signal. You should be able to attach to one of the other sub interfaces on the modem (eg cu -l /dev/cuaU0.1) and issue the command at+csq even when you are connected via PPP to see what the signal strength is. There are other commands too that can tell you the type of connection you currently have etc, but they are typically modem specific. ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
