I have a 33.6 USRobotics Sportster modem and am running into the following problems: 1. System hangs up intermittantly when I "dial worldnet". (It some times talks to modem. Otherwise System hangs up) I suppose, this problem is due to the modem. 2. How do i specify modem characteristics to the system? 3. Since i am assigned the IP address dynamically, what should be contained in /etc/hosts file? Would appreciate your comments. Thank you -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Vijay/Mrudula vjmrudula@worldnet.att.net ---------------------------------------------------------- -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Vijay/Mrudula vjmrudula@worldnet.att.net ----------------------------------------------------------
