Hi, My modem is behaving oddly suddenly - it keeps getting reset or something after about 10mins or so, making big-ish downloads a pain.
It's happened under NT as well as Linux, especially in the evenings (UK). Under Linux I get (in ppp.log and in the console) (something like...) 'Echo requests failed 4 times' 'serial connection appears to have been terminated' 'NO LINE' Also, last night, it seemed to happen after ~6 mins, then ~3 mins, then 1min until whenever I dialled up I got 'NO LINE', as if the errors came faster and faster. It seems to happen when ftp-ing (but that could be a coincidence) and before the modem get's reset, the tone on the phone is just a long continuos montonous beep (like you get when you're cut off...). So, whats the prob.? Hardware? (it's worked fine for years - a standard 14.4 internal) Software? (happens more under Linux it seems, esp. after upgrading from bo to hamm [but could be coincidence?]), ISP provider? Telephone line? How can I find out what's causing the problem? Please help, Martin There was a dialling tone tho'... But when it hangs ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
