I don't hink it's the OS; my full-time dialup also drops occasionally. Since it happens most often during rain or thunderstorms, or when the telco is futzing around, I tend to believe it's just noise on the line that blows the modem sync, leading to disconnect. It's not fun, but I don't see any way to avoid it on a dialup link. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
