I'm having a few problems with my modem, and I was hoping someone
could help me out. I am running Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 development
installation on a Pentium II 233 w/ 64MB RAM, and 128 MB swap (on).
I'm using KPPP to dial in to my ISP and I have a Motorola ModemSurfr.
My problem occurs after I connect to my ISP. I launch netscape, and
soon after that, or sometimes a long time after that, my modem seems
to stop responding. Nothing is downloaded from the net, but my modem
lights indicate a carrier. When I click disconnect on KPPP, the
modem holds the carrier for several minutes. Because of this, I
suspect the problem is between my PC and the modem rather than with
the connection to the ISP. Also, this happens most often when I run
netscape. If I don't use netscape things are a lot more reliable.
Unfortunately, since I'm using Yahoo mail, netscape is the best
browser I know of for Linux.
Any reccomendations?
