I had an external modem that did that. I thought it was a Linux thing for ages until one day when I read something about modems designed for foreign phone exchanges. I checked that underneath of mine and found an Australian telepermit - Nothing from NZ. I replaced it with an NZ telepermitted one and the problem went away. It PMO that I'd bought the orignal modem in NZ in the first place. -- Rob Stockley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
