Here is a guess on my part. grep "Mar 20" /var/log/messages | grep chat | grep send | less should show you dial attempts on the given date. grep "Mar 20" messages | grep "Connected to site" | less would show show successfull IP address (or not) > > > PS We had a look at some of the logs in /var > (and below), only to find that several seem to /var/log/messages should have what you want > > be very different that what we expected to find; > i.e. for one with time-stamped lines, dates are > out-of-order (it this normal or have they pos- > sibly been scrambled by some intruder?) Dates should be in order. Do you have a bad battery and maybe NTP is resetting clock? Again, just guessing here.
