You may want to reset your modem between dials (in a chatscript): "" "\nATZ\n"
Actually I have a fairly complicated ppp setup (multiple numbers and login methods that are tried in order), so I have a seperate reset script that looks like: ABORT OK ABORT "NO CARRIER" TIMEOUT 5 "" "\nATZ\n" "OK" "\d\d\d+++\n" "" "\d\nATZ\n" "OK" and I don't care if it aborts (actually, I want it to). The +++ is a signal to the modem to pay attention to you and stop sending data. Brandon P.S. if you are interested, I'll send you all my configs (minus passwords). ----- Brandon Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "We all know linux is great... it PGP: finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED] does infinite loops in 5 seconds" Phone: (757) 221-4847 --Linus Torvalds -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
