First of course is to check your logs. That should go without saying. Everybody should read all their logs (or at least scan them or pass them through grep or something) before wondering why anything happens. That aside, it's highly likely that this is a standard POTS issue. The quality of the lines may not be good enough, and somewhere along the line things may just drop dead. Or maybe it's your modem: some are not known to be as reliable as others for long-term connections. My el-cheapo D-Link gets disconnected for wierd reasons, even if I'm sure nobody picks up an extension on either end. I'm sure a USR Courier would have been much more reliable. If your connections get dropped at fairly regular intervals, though, you may want to enable pppd debugging and watch your logs. Or set your clients to auto-redial. Or both. ;) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : <http://jijo.free.net.ph/> Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
