Hello Fellow Arachnids: While online a few minutes ago, and while using Arachne Insight to compose an email message, I suddenly heard a click and then a dialtone on my modem. Then the modem started to dial, apparently all by itself. I know I wasn't doing anything to cause the modem to hangup and then go off-hook and then dial again. I reacted to this very disconcerting experience by turning off the main power switch on my computer.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I have reported this to the list before. Also the same thing has happened to me on a couple of other occasions. I always react by immediately shutting down my power. I have been thinking about rigging a switch to simply disconnect my modem line in case this happens again. BTW, I am connecting by using LSppp. I am not using the Klos dialer or any other kind of dialer that can be set up so as to automatically re-dial and re-connect after a sudden disconnect from the server. Do you guys suppose that I am experiencing some intrusion attempts? Maybe I just have some kind of very quirky hardware/software problem that shows up once in a blue moon. Does anybody have any ideas as to what might be the cause of the problem? Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
