Actually, the power network in Sydney is a nightmare. High powered audio tomes are injected into the 240 volt mains to control people's hot water systems, especially at night. If you have any leakage of signal from your power cables to your phone line (such as cables running close and parallel for several rooms in the ceiling in a terrace), then you will experience modem dropouts all the time. Write down the times of each disconnection and you will be amazed. You heard it here first. The major cause of dropouts after call waiting. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
