Sorry- I now see in a previous message that you tried it and it made no difference. I was using a sort of WinModem in a ThinkPad 600E laptop- it is the IBM mwave modem. I downloaded the drivers, not expecting it to work, but lo! and behold! It did - only after I added the noauth option because the first few times I was logged out after connect, which upset me (so I sympathise). Can we recap? Your modem was working. You reinstalled Linux. Now, the modem itself appears to work, but the connection is dropped immediately or soon after it is made? Here is a link to a step-by-step process to get ppp going, with some good background explanation. Perhaps there is something that will help? http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html Andy
