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!
