I upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5 stable but no luck . I changed modem's network cards , filters on phone lines and so on . I ended up with a script running from cron pinging two ip's i know are alwayes up and restarting ppp if they are not answering . anyone had these problems , where can i look for a solution ( meaning what to look for , ppp errors maybe increase logging ? ) thanks barazani _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
