Just put it in, will see if it helps any. FWIW, my modem is a USR
ISA 56k, and had been rock solid until around there. My friend also had
the same issues, and before we'd talked to each other about it, we'd both
assumed that possibly the modem might be failing. After finding that we
both had troubles, and around the same "kernel time frame", we knew that
something must have happened in the kernel that either broke something
with the PPP or the kernel end of it. Thanks for responding.
