Alex,
Thanks, tried to figure the man page but wasn't sure how I changed the debug file. Here's the relevent bit of the messages file though: Aug 28 14:23:13 casper /etc/hotplug/net.agent: NET unregister event not supported Aug 28 14:24:24 casper modem_run[1556]: modem_run version 1.1 started by root uid 0 Aug 28 14:24:26 casper kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Aug 28 14:24:26 casper kernel: usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 2 ep 0x85 len 512 ret -110 Aug 28 14:24:47 casper modem_run[1556]: ADSL synchronization has been obtained Aug 28 14:24:47 casper modem_run[1556]: ADSL line is up (576 kbit/s down | 288 kbit/s up) Aug 28 14:25:19 casper pppd[1569]: unrecognized option 'dial' Aug 28 14:25:31 casper pppd[1571]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Aug 28 14:25:31 casper pppd[1571]: speed 1 not supported Aug 28 14:25:32 casper pppoa3[1572]: PPPoA3 version 1.1 started by root (uid 0) Aug 28 14:25:32 casper pppoa3[1572]: Control thread ready Aug 28 14:25:32 casper pppd[1571]: Using interface ppp0 Aug 28 14:25:32 casper pppd[1571]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2 Aug 28 14:25:32 casper /etc/hotplug/net.agent: assuming ppp0 is already up Aug 28 14:25:32 casper kernel: HDLC line discipline: version $Revision: 3.3 $, maxframe=4096 Aug 28 14:25:32 casper kernel: N_HDLC line discipline registered.

If so, how does that bit get reconfigured? Thoughts/tips on this appreciated. Cheers, Lee.
