In these previous logs I've saved over the last month+, I find more random drop times, yet half still apply to the "top of the hour". Except for the fact that I can't stay connected longer than 59.4 min, overall, it still seems random.
You could try to automate getting all connect, disconnect and on time, and graph frequencies - I'd use OO for that. If there is a certain rough similarity in times, that's something you can show your provider.
Unfortunately, it's not my ISP. I got another ISP to give me a test account for the day. I got a (SIGHUP) to pppd after 58.1 minutes. Soooo... It's on my side, or it's the modem itself.
If I could only track the source of the (SIGHUP)!!!
Any of the ideas I told you were any good? strace, ltrace and such?
I did try strace. I got 548 lines of output in 30 seconds of tracing, and then it exited.
Perhaps you could post a new question on how to trace signals, maybe some one knows and notices the question. Or post it on some technical/programming list -- I think there is one on SuSE. not sure -- and if you get to know that, tell me, I'm interested :-)
I'll give this a go. Thanks for everything!!! Bernd -- "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." Antoine de St. Exupery
