That is strange, I have two dial up modems, both external, when they are contacted through the setup window they start with OK at the top, but when connected in the KPPP log window I don't think they say OK, just start with ATZ and then dialling etc.. So there must be something grabbing your modem before it attempts to dial, and pauses it. This wouldn't be a delay of some kind from your ISP? Can't see why? My Maestro modem, did have a memory which it built after several connections to maximise the line speed, and when the line was improved, it had to be deleted or it would always connect at the best possible speed which was 36000 Kbps from the old line. I suppose that your modem doesn't have something like this, because obviously you didn't have this problem previously. Sorry more I am unable to suggest, grasping at straws here.
