Something about netscape...
makes my PPP connection SIGHUP. I have been experimenting with my problem
and here is what's happening:
I can connect to my ISP from the console, and stay connected all day if
I want to (and I do some days). I can connect to my ISP in Xwindows and
stay connected all day, if I want to.
When I then start Navigator, I am always disconnected within a minute
from my ISP. The ppplog says only SIGHUP. Here is a slice from plog:
(using kdebug 1)

I am totally baffled by this and don't even know how to go about tracking
down the problem. Sometmes it happens just when Alt-tabbing to an open,
idle Netscape.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
