How to decypher dialupscript
Where can I get a list of explanation of the messages the dial up window gives you in kppp ?

Not sure of what kppp prints since I don't use it, but V90 and older modems use the Hayes command set (i.e. AT commands), you can find explanation for example here:

Much obliged Raffaele,that was what I'm looking for, though I still have a few lines unexplained, this is what I'm getting after a particular recurrence like this, kppp logs on and emails download,
then halfway through the process my ISP seems to cut me off, this causes kppp to redial with this error message,
ATZ OK AT &F1 &V1 TERMINATION REASON.......... NONE LAST TX rate................ N/A HIGHEST TX rate............. 300 BPS LAST RX rate................ N/A HIGHEST RX rate............. 300 BPS PROTOCOL.................... N/A COMPRESSION................. N/A Line QUALITY................ 255 Rx LEVEL.................... 214 Highest Rx State............ 00 Highest TX State............ 00 EQM Sum..................... FFFF RBS Pattern................. FF Rate Drop................... FF Digital Loss................ FFFF Local Rtrn Count............ 00 Remote Rtrn Count........... 00 V90
OK ATM1L1 OK ATDT147008089916080 NO CARRIER
Question is why no carrier ?
Immediately I redial she logs on as usual.
This has now become a pattern.
I don't understand the scale of report in the "F's" and the numbers, like Line QUALITY...... 255, is that good bad or indifferent.
All my searches in google have come up with no detailed explanation, and although your suggestion is very helpful it isn't complete, as far as I can see.
The basic questions I need answering are,
Am I being cut off because my ISP is overloaded and needs to make room for others,
Am I being cut off because of line quality or modem config.
Am I being cut off because of software like guarddog(don't think so, but I'm not sure) etc.
Or what ?

John,
Judging by your email address, you're using Wanadoo - formerly known as Freeserve - as your ISP.
I've noticed a considerable deterioration in their service since the rebranding. Although I pay for the "Anytime" package (unlimited access, but limited to 2-hour sessions), the connection often drops before the 2-hour limit is up, and sometimes it takes several attempts to get reconnected. This makes downloading my Mdk updates a complete nightmare!
So, although it is worth checking that everything else is working OK, it's probably a Wanadoo problem.
