Another thing to check is the line quality. If your line has a lot of noise on it, the connection can get lost that way and would degrade the speed before that. On bad days, I get speeds down to 9600, varying lengths of time on-line, then the system misses 4 pings to the ISP and disconnects. Of course, even on a good day, every two hours my ISP dumps me...

The ISP said nothing, but with a new v.02 analog modem the connections are a lot better.If it is the modem protocol why can it sometimes stay connected for 3 hours and other times only 15 or 20 minutes before it disconnects? Do you think if I buy a new model of external serial modem it will stop disconnecting? Did my syslog file look good in terms of logging everything I can? Zach
