In chat, you can use the TIMEOUT command to set the timeout. Here's a sample chatscript: ---------------begin chatscript--------------- ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT VOICE ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT ERROR ABORT CLI "" atz TIMEOUT 20 OK atdt\T TIMEOUT 180 name: myusername TIMEOUT 20 word: \qmypassword > ppp ---------------end chatscript--------------- Here \T is automatically replaced by the phone number. I forget what the \q does, but it's not part of the password. So, my advice to Dante is to try switching to chat and see if that helps. I wasn't able to find any timeout parameter in wvdial. --Paul Vojta, vojta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
