:-) there is plenty of dirs u can look too, but the most proper on should be /var/log/ which is standard log dir
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.
It still could be. Ask your ISP if their servers are Windows, Linux or UNIX. I'll be willing to bet they're Windows.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.
Most Win servers aren't Linux or Mac friendly.
I've gone thru quite a few ISPs because of this.
kppp uses wvdial to do it's work. Try it with kppp and set the idle timeout (hangup if idle more than xxx minutes) to 0 or never, whichever it allows (I haven't used it in quite some time).
