<snip> What exactly do you see in syslog? SIGHUP? OK this is some of the output from the syslog. I have phoned my ISP on several occaisions and they are convinced there is some sort of software setting causing the modem to break the connection. They are telling me that the connection is being shut off on my end, as if I told the modem to disconnect. I tried using the windoze computer and it connects happily, but the two Debian Etch computers refuse to stay on for more than a couple minutes if I am lucky.... I have tried different modem strings, disconnecting phones, since at first I thought it was a problem with the line. Again, any help would be useful!
