Hi Andreas, My E169 hangs (usually due to signal dropping out on the move) it usually connects again happily if I do: > pkill pppd > ifconfig ppp0 destroy and then run my create and pppd scripts again, and if that doesn't work - then a detach and reattach usually fixes the problem - not a slick solution but it works for me on my E169. hth Fred
