If you're ntu is indicating a framing problem, I think your only recourse is to complain to the telephone company. (In my case, the line would go entirely dead -- no frames at all. :-) Just remember that, while the phone company may be the "evil empire", the line technicians are your friends. I kept calling (and complaining to the public service commission) but it was a local T-1 service technician who ultimately identified the problem, after giving me his personal cell phone number so I could call him directly, when my problem would reoccur. cmr -- Registered Linux User #241964 ---- "Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." -- Samwise Gamgee _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
