Laptop = more expensive = less common = less experts. A couple of things I would suggest are : 1. See if you can get a diagnostic tool from your manufacturer's web site. This should be able to check the lower level functioning of the card. 2. Standard reply - have you checked /var/log/messages to see if there is and explanation for the death of the PPP connection ? Post the extracts if you're note sure how to decipher. -- Regards, Paul
