Of course I though of that as soon as I sent the email. I have looked
in /var/log and it's subdirectories. Nothing can I find relating to
this. In fact, very few of any kind of log files.

Yea, I'm always leaving out something. I do have Win98, and the modem
is fine under that. Also I have a second computer beside this one -
winmodem, connects under windows only, works fine. I can be on all day
long. I have too many darn variables here. New OS (MDK 9.1 & Gentoo),
new MoBo and new external modem. I needed new MoBo as the old one died,
new modem as I could not find an internal hardware modem and new OS as
MDK 7.2 (which i used before) is too old to run on this box I would
expect.
I've been using this ISP for years, so it ain't that.
Actually, the phone lines are pretty crappy, but that ain't it either.
It's got to be modem related or something with my configuration. There
are config files in /etc/ppp but I don't know what I'm doing in those
yet. I'm gonna have to hunt down some documentation on those.
urrggghhhhhhh
