next time it happens run a traceroute ..if it is timing out while in route to the site..then the isp/routers are havin trouble if you get time outs at hop 1 chances are your connection is screwed. id also suggest an upgrade to a faster modem :) a good 56k pci/isa modem can be had for about $35 ..even if your lines dont support 56k you can at least do 28.8/33.6 ..you might try different INIT strings too ..the one i use for my 56k modem is about 50 characters long :/ i programmed it into the ROM now tho so when i hit ATZ it uses that string. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 11:23pm up 88 days, 10:56, 1 user, load average: 1.68, 1.60, 1.72
