If your modem is a top-of-the-line one, I would expect it to have no problems. I'd guess Windows does stuff with the modem to prevent the disconnection, perhaps it keeps the line busy with null/echo packets or something. Try unplugging your phones though as that worked for me.
Thanks, but... Removed the phones, rewired the phone lines, changed pci slots, changed IRQ's in BIOS so the modem would be on its' own IRQ, pinged, echoed, set idle time to indefinite, removed idle time, changed AT commands to match those in windoze exactly, added additional AT commands to allow flex in line noise, verified windoze com port is same as linux ttyS (com5=ttyS4), on and on and on.................. It is sooo scary to me that my modem (USR PCI 56K FaxModem Model 5610 (rev 01)), which is fully supported in SuSE, works in windoze, yet I get a (SIGHUP) and get dumped in linux. <snip> Thanks again!
