It works just great, except for one minor detail. It doesn't hang up the phone line when it's done. Even when the ISP drops his end. I have configured the modem to time out and hangup after about 10 or 15 minutes, but this still leaves me with a problem if I have connected recently, and I need to reconnect. I notice that the dtr light on my modem never goes out. Isn't this what ppp should be using to force a hangup ? Any suggestions on what to check ? Thanks. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy! Pay no attention to that cliff ahead...
