strange ppp
hello,
i have such a strange probelm that i don't know if i'll manage to explain it.
i'm using wvdial to connect to my isp, and it works well with windows. but when i'm using linux i get connected to my isp for about 3 minutes before it just stops and there is no more transfer possible. i.e. when i'm using apt-get to install a package i have to stay at the computer and disconnect/reconnect every time the connectin stops. the strange thing is that my modem doesn't hang up. i'll join a log of a login procedure, and a typical syslog of a connection, hoping that someone can help me.
