However, if this is happening frequently, I'd look for a dodgy modem setting that isn't very tolerant of temporary CD glitches. On a USR Sportster for example, you may want to ATS10=10 so that carrier must be lost for a whole second before the modem notices. Remember, never use "set reconnect" with a timeout value that's less than your ISP..... > --- > thomas strömberg . system admin, royal institute of technology (stockholm) > nobody@darkening.com . irc:nobody@EFnet . talk:nonxstnt@silent.darkening.com > real coders don't use comments.
