Well for anyone monitoring my modem issues I finally got one that
works. I set up a connection to the UCD modem pool and selected the
option to start the connection when the computer boots up. When I boot,
RH tells me that it's bringing up eth0, then ppp0, but the modem never
dials. After I log in and everything the computer says that ppp0 is
connected but it's not. The only way (I've found) to make it actually
dialup is to delete the dial-up connection and the modem, set them both
up again and have the dial-up configuration window open when I dial.
Anyway, I'm fairly sure this should not be the case at all. So...anyone
got any hints? Also, I get the same problem if the connection dies @ 2
hrs. It will only re-connect if I manually disconnect it before the 2
hrs are reached. Any ideas on this one? Thanks for your time guys.

P.S. Any reason to set up IP chains on a dial-up machine that MSAQ's to
an internal network?
