Hi, I checked the /varlog/messages and found that the average time the connection lasts is of 3.1 to 3.2 minutes.after that I get the error:- The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16) . During this period(the interval of 3.1 minutes) the line is not idle..I am doing some activity continiously (without any break). Hence I do not understand if the issue is related to the telephone line or the modem problem. -- Thanks and Regards, Diptanu Paul EMAIL:- diptanu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "If GNU/Linux does not have any solution...

Most important, are yuo receiving or transmitting data during the interval, or is the line connected, active if you like the word, or idle while you are doing something else? If the last case is true, then simply your ISP hangs the line while too idle. Jacques PLEASE always write to the list for issues directly connected for software and/or operation problems. Keep offline for issues which are not of general interest.
