spoke too soon on that bit, I was using the "auto" dialmode but changed it to manual so my script can control when it connects and disconnects to count the number of times and back off after a certain number of failed connections etc etc. But, dialmode manual causes the link to come up, stay up approx 1 minute then hangup (local hangup it says). The huptimeout is 0 meaning disabled but I set it to 24 hrs just to make sure, no diff. Put back to dialmode auto and no problems!! Only problem with auto is it reconnects by itself and will happily keep doing it over and over again (if the connection is failing for some reason, could be any reason, config error at ISP etc) ad infinitum at 18c a pop!!. Google turned up nothing. Is anyone else using dialmode manual? Failing any answers I'll have to dig into the source and attempt to work out what it's doing...
