I know it sounds crazy, but maybe try it without your
/etc/ppp/peesr/myispsname I have never had pon fail, as long as i had
the modem switched on and the telephone line into it and the phone line
wasn't down.
There seems to be some sort problem with trying to get at your ISP, and
I suppose that you have entered it correctly? Silly question because it
connects sometimes.
Maybe if you can connect each time without specifying your ISP, then you
will be able to troubleshoot that part of myisp which
doesn't quite allow it to work each time.............?
But something seems to be worrying it sometimes.
I connect 3 or four times a day, and have never had a miss,unless it was
something mechanical.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into
place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of
greening the landscape of the idea. _____________________________John
