I first had the problem when using 10.3.3 but thought that perhaps it would go away if I updated to 10.3.5. I have now done that but still have the problem. I am wondering if deleting a pref file might help. If so, where would that be located?
I've sometimes been able to fix that by restarting finder, sometimes by physically turning the modem off (I have an external modem on my desktop), but sometimes the only choice is rebooting.
I even tried killing and restarting the pppd process via the command line, but the stupid 'disconnecting' thing just keeps on going.
I'm not big on OS X, but I know modems inside and out. Sounds like there's a modem script being used that's not too sophisticated -- it's not properly recognizing the modem's status and reporting that back to the PPP module.
Can you locate the script and email it to me?
Somewhere in PPP settings should be a verbose type logging mechanism. It would help to see that log, when the problem has occured...
