Hi, I am getting constantly disconnected from my ISPs and apparently it's my ppp daemon that dies, not the ISPs that terminate the connection. I am wondering if the following messages can be the culprit: Sep 6 13:05:02 friedman pppd[348]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty Sep 6 14:08:26 friedman pppd[798]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty Sep 6 14:12:11 friedman pppd[849]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty Sep 6 14:14:25 friedman pppd[857]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty Sep 6 14:16:25 friedman pppd[882]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty Notice that the disconnection does not necessarily occur when I see this message. Also, not surprisingly, it's irrelevant whether I use kppp or wvdial to establish my connection. It happens in the middle of downloads (so, there's activity, no idleness)... My modem is external (Motorola VoiceSURFR 56k) and I've been using it since May...
