Thanks all for your input. What a community! However I'm still wondering. I have tried the RedHat9 machine from my home connection. IE a normal & proven OK telephone line. And have been cutoff as below with the "Hangup (SIGHUP)" being the only hint. As suggested by Grant : The "^@" definetly being NOT related as I am still on line OK after that string. Proved as tailing in real time "/var/log/messages" insted of PPP-logfile. The following line is note worthy:
Nov 1 15:42:37 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21
"KPPP Configuration" app doesn't seem to provide the opportunity unless you can put it in "initialization string 2". There is an "Escape string" of "+++". is that cool? There is an "Guard time (sec/50" and a "Post-init delay (sec/100)" of "50". is that cool?
I tried to send mail to the sluglist from the "Redhat 9 "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" machine but couldn't figure how to cut & paste from console to Mozilla Mail 1.2.1. If its possible to cut & paste like in Windows please inform me.
Thanks Again All!

################# BELOW is /var/log/messages ##################### Nov 1 15:42:36 localhost modprobe: modprobe:
Can't locate module ppp0 The line
was isolated. I disconnected the eftpos & ebay machines and
phone lines
etc. I have
since found out that there is a strong possibility the line is ADSL.
( due to a shop move to a bigger
premise) There is
no filter on the line. I asked
the IT guy and he reckons the filter is to protect the
high bandwidth
ADSL from the voice
analogue Not the
other way around so it shoudn't be a problem. I will now
try and arrange (if possible an ADSL account & adsl
modem.) I never
have installed an ADSL account on
linux so any link to howtos, gotchas,
FAQs , best modems to use I would greatly
appreciate. If I
thought the lists search egine was any good I would use it .
Nodoubt this issue
has a been popular thread in the past. Thanks
