I also have tested on 3 different telephone networks (ATT, QWest...) with my ISP, and have the same results (5 hours in windoze before the ISP drops me, and 30 seconds to no more than 59.4 minutes before getting a (SIGHUP) to pppd in SuSE).
The 5 hours is no doubt an ISP restriction. I pay for a 24/7 dialup but at one point my ISP made changes that caused a disconnect every 6 hrs. You should ask your ISP about that. As for the linux connection, I do now assume that you *do* get connected which is a steed of a different hue as compared to not able to login to the ISP at all. Not sure where to go with that. This isn't a 'winmodem' is it? (forgot what modem you have) -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
