No appologies needed. We are here to help as best we can, some are more
versed in linux than others, I'm on the low end of the knowhow scale.
hehe.. but,
Ok, this one I have seen and it might be as simple as setting the modem
timeout to a higher value. On the desktop click on the internet connection
icon and then setup>modem and look for the timeout setting down near the
bottom of the dialog box , set it for 90 secs or more. This can be done
in an editor also, but I'm am sadly lacking in console knowledge. Working
on that though. See if the timeout setting will get you connected.
