As soon as it times out or my ISP times me out it radials. This happens even when the BSD system is the only thing powered on on the net so I'm sure it is something in the system. I've tried the tcpdump but it needs some device I don't have in my kernel and I'm hoping someone here knows the problem so I can avoid the kernel build on a 386 :(. I've also tried adding all the filters I can think of that won't directly be a problem, i.e.. I have left such things as DNS alone. I'm running 2.1.5-RELEASE, with everything pretty much as the manuals and the web pages say to do it. The system acts as a router for 2 Win95 machines with gateway=YES and routed -s in sysconfig. I guess it could be worse, at least I can connect. Only thing is I have to turn off the modem to stop it! :) Any help would be appreciated Jeff
