This will be evident by checking ppp's parent process ID using ps(1). Also, make sure that you've got "normal" carrier detect options set on your modem (usually the &C command). If you're sure that these are correct, you could download the latest version of ppp from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian and enable debug logging. This will log lines with the string "ModemTimeout" in them, that monitors your carrier signal. > > anderl -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <bri@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
