I do ppp then type "dial isp" hit alt+f2 login as bob do startx, which causes my modem to just hang up. Once I have X started i can hit ctrl+alt+f1 and go back and retype dial isp it dials finally and I can switch between windows all I want, my question how does user bob make the modem hang up by starting X? I have also noticed that this happens in linux. I haven't tested it much but I think once I'm connected and do startx it also kills my modem. (This is internal ISA modem if it makes a diff.)
