Here a some more details. It doesn't happen since I installed my new FC2 so maybe the problem have disappeared. But when I was running my RH9 with a 2.4 kernel, sometimes my connection stops and it was impossible to restart it without unplugging the modem. I always supposed that it was some bad manipulation from my provider during technical intervention that put my modem in a bad state because it happens very randomly and not quite often. The disconnection every 24h have never cause any problem, relaunching pppd always restored the connection with success. What I would like to have, was a soft USB initializer (a software that stop and start an usb device) but I've never been able to find one under linux.
I will send more technical details as soon as it will happen again, but I hope it will not ;o) You're welcome, Fred Duncan Sands wrote: >>that the connexion is down and relaunch pppd and only pppd.
