If you have call waiting, like myself, then someone trying to call you will
kick you offline, even when you do the *70 or whatever to disable call
waiting. There isn't much you can do about it really. The disable call
waiting feature doesn't work as well as intended. If you do have call
waiting, you might try dialing in without using the *70 call waiting
disabled just to see if you get booted for no reason still or if someone is
calling you. With it disabled, you'll probably get booted and your phone
will ring.

Hi everyone,,
I get randomly disconnected from my ISP and when I check the
/var/log/messages, I find this...
pppd [3128]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
pppd[3128]: Modem Hangup
I did not tell it to disconnect, it just did, what would be causing this?
anyone know?
I have just read the pppd man, and mentions that being sent a sighup will
reset the connection,, but I didn't send it.
how can I find out what is cauing this? (it happens at random, sometimes
within two minutes, sometimes 8 hours,, but it always happens eventually.)
any help would be most seriously appreciated.
Kindest regards
Frank
