If you edit /etc/chatscripts/provider and look where the aborts are: jas@golden:~$ more /etc/chatscripts/provider # This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.10. # Please do not delete any of the comments. Pppconfig needs them. # # ispauth PAP # abortstring ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED # modeminit You should be able to remove the 'NO DIALTONE' from the above. Of course this assumes you are using pon/poff. I assume that other dialers would have similar configurations. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
