Are you sure this is not something done by your ISP? (in which case you need to keep the link busy, by checking mail every 3 minutes or something. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
i don't think that's the isp because on windows it works. i can leave 30 min.it won't disconnect. mark --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes

The default idle time set by SuSE is 300 seconds. You can change it with Yast in your modem configuration. If you set 0, you'll have a permanent connexion. Catimimi.

when using < wvdial > one can adjust this in the file /etc/wvdial.conf ~ the line reads something like :- timeout = 900 secs -- best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
