After 6 months of flawless operation, a problem has developed connecting to my ISP with Gnome's Usernet. The modem dials, I hear the handshake and bong tone, then, after 10-15 seconds it redials and the cycle starts all over. The maddening thing is, one time in 20 or so times it connects O.K. It's not an ISP problem, as I connect every time using KDE's kppp and (spit) W95. To keep this short,I'm not posting the log but if anyone wants to tackle this I can email it. -- Bob Holtzman "If you think you're getting free lunch, ...check the price of the beer!"
