When reading your message(s) containing what your log(s) are showing it occurred to me that you were being disconnected around the hour and the 1/2 hour mark - eg. you don't stay on-line longer that 59.4 mins and it just happens that you logged-on just past the hour.
I've already looked at that also, from previous logs. I thought I had a pattern related to a cron job, but not so. This just happens to be the output and times of these sessions. I have the same results no matter where on the minute hand I begin my session. I get disconnected at fairly random intervals, but never exceed 59.4 minutes of connect time.
You know...!!! I've been looking at old logs again since you mentioned this, and... 5 out of the 6 times I was connected in the last 27 hours, I got the (SIGHUP). The other time I took myself down. Of these 5 times, the following applies (dialing via KInternet): dropped connect time 08:02:00 59.4 min 09:02:08 17.1 min 20:01:22 37.0 min 08:01:33 49.7 min 09:59:14 21.1 min Previous logs show (dialing via KInternet & wvdial): dropped connect time 10:27:10 59.4 min 16:16:23 29.9 min 19:35:15 55.2 min 19:02:48 05.6 min 20:04:45 55.4 min 21:05:10 58.7 min 22:05:16 50.0 min 23:05:23 44.8 min 17:08:25 47.8 min 21:44:52 59.0 min 22:46:03 33.1 min 23:47:15 26.6 min I split these up to show different days in the logs. 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. <snip>
I get dumped at random intervals, and exactly the same way, whether I am actively downloading or idle, and whether or not I echo lcp packets.
If I could only track the source of the (SIGHUP)!!! Thanks again, 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
