what exactly did you do/change? is there something to make the modem not
give up on PPP-internet (plus-pack95) after 5 minutes? my 701 and several
others' are repeatedly dropping the line after about 5 minutes. someone
mentioned that with trumpet winsock, checksum failures or so were reported
after that period. mine seems to work better at night, though that might
(new idea?) be because it is then on my bed and the underside heats up more,
which seems to help a little...

i had already started a thread to this effect a couple of months ago,
without any real solution. i sort of dropped the line, too, since i then got
an ethernet card for at work...

oh well,

axel
