For some reason, after an x amount of time, I can't
surf anymore ... 

Let's say that it's not a "bad" modem ... 

I've gone through all the kppp settings and made the
values as large as possible ... not sure what all of
the values mean, but ...

what command do I do to get relevant files/logs that
might have information about the connection?

Would that be the first step to find out? Or will I
have to get some kind of log viewer downloaded and
installed?

I'm using Mandrake 9.0.

Does this seem like a reasonable thing to try, or am I
just spinning my wheels?

BTW, it's not the end of the world, once I get 3
computers networked, to run downstairs and disconnect,
then disconnect again (kppp won't automatically do it,
because the modem's is still "on" ... I hear it click
off when I disconnect ... and can't get back on until
I disconnect ... i connect again with no problem), but
it's better if it just stayed on ...
