Re: [newbie] USR/3Com Sportster 005686-03 56k
I made a tiny change in the modem settings ... changed it from 57600 to 38000 or therabouts ... and got online. I was happy to be surfing until I realized the persistent symtom was there ... as with the internal PCI hardware modem ... first session online for hour and 20 ... then got message "operation times out attemtpting to contact ..." second session, 45 minutes then no surfing ... can disconnect reconnect just fine, but it is not optimal obviously. Actually very annoying, unacceptable, yada yada .. Tried it with the 2nd of 3rd systems, so I know it's not a system problem; it's clearly linuxmandrake (was happening with redhat too) and this motherboard/modem ... The modem works fine under windows according to the modem vendor, but on a different system (don't know why I bothered with that test) The system vendor claims that the PCI modem did not work on windows, but another modem did work (who knows what these guys really found out, I can't really watch over their shoulders ... and they don't want to be responsible for any of this). I do wonder whether mandrake 9.1 will fix this problem (also I was using the "core" mandrake 9.0, not the boxed or cd version) Rita __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Have you double checked your user name and password settings in your
dialup connection? Perhaps a o instead of a 0 or a 1 instead of a i or l
upper case letter wher a lower case letter should be used, some ISPs are case
sensitive on login.
It sounds like everything is working fine up until the username and
password varification.
