OK here is what I get when I 'ps ax | grep ppp' '202 ?? ls 0:00.04 /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -auto -nat papchap' FYI. the modem does disconnect after the '300sec'. and I can re-dial to get the connection again, so that all works fine. Also I think what is happening is that on boot-up once it gets to 'looking for host time.nrc.ca and service NTP' the modem starts, so that explains why it starts at boot-up, it needs to satisfy that call. Part of this steeeep learning curve for a newbie like me is also learning the logic behind the sequencing of different activities. Now having said that, a further question, and I have read the man pages, handbook, and sundry other books, is I can't seem to understand how I can setup 'ppp' to dial out manually. (ie. only when I want it to, as I have another computer that shares the one phone line that I have avail. for this purpose). If you could shed some light on this function I would be very appreciative. As for your suggestion: 'I used to kill ppp using a "hangup" python script:' At this stage that is over my head.
