What happens is they dial out, make those sounds, and just as they seem to be about to connect, they disconnect. I'm pretty sure both kernels are configured correctly. This still occurs with kernel 2.4.6. On a seperate note (and I realize this is a lot more nebulous) my disk begins to make a lot of noise at random times and doesn't stop for several minutes. This sometimes happens when using apt-get, though I've seen it do it at gdm login prompts. 128 megs ram, 130 meg swap. Any ideas...? Thank you, Gerry please cc, not subscribed
