I am on a dial-up connection to my ISP and frequently when I dial I get kppp coming back and reporting an error 16. Looking at the pppd man page I see the following: ... 16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up. ... The question is whose modem is hanging up and why? If it is mine what and where can I increase whatever value/s so that this doesn't happen? If it is the ISP's modem how can I give them something textual to work from, copy the kppp error log window? -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
