Thanks for the suggestions Dazza (and Grant) and googling on my behalf
:) but unfortunately the problem still exists. I have been persisting
for so long with Linux with the main problem always having been internet
conectivity. When I finally got Fedora to dial, connect, stay connected
and then visit my first webpage on Linux I thought I could finally make
the switch, but alas some other problem arises! I think I am cursed, I
must have unwillingly sold my soul to MS when accepting some EULA of
theirs :P
This could still be caused by a hardware problem of some sort - you don't
mention what kind of modem you have doing the dialing, or how it conects
to your computer - if you have some kind of winmodem or internal modem, do
you have any chance of borrowing an external modem and trying with that?
The modem is a NetComm Roadster II 56 Ultra SVD connected via serial port.
Also, what are you using do actually do the dialing? How do you establish
the connection?
just using the 'Network Device Control' under GNOME to activate the ppp0
interface
How long {time wise} does it take for the connection to stop working?
usually around 1 - 1.5 minutes but ATM it has been up for 12 minutes and
is still working ?!
Cheers,
Brad
