I got iijpp to dial up and work properly and the connection seems good. I'd like to shut the timeout off. I thought setting the timeout to 0 would do it, but after a small amount of idle time the modem hangs up. Would I be better off setting the timeout to some LARGE number and writing a script to tickle the connection every once in a while? TIA Ed Paquette ed@ncia.net
