Hi all,
I apologize that there might be a better place to ask this, but this is the best I can think of.
Not a problem. <snip>
Is it conceivable that Quest is running a protocol stack that is in some way not entirely compatible with Linux? I guess that would mean that the vast majority of their customers run other OSes (well, sad but true so far, though probably changing).
Not likely.
I'm boggled by the whole thing. Any thoughts (or any other diagnostics) would be gratefully listened too. Quest says they can run some live tests but I can't visit this friend again till next week, so I'd like to have all the ideas in my mind when the time comes.
I highly recommend that Quest go on site and test the connection there has to be something wrong with the connection. I have Sprint DSL and had a similar experience and it turned out that I was "cross connected" with another customer that caused my connection to drop every 10-15 minutes. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
