mr mark, here's my log showing things I tried to stop spontaneous disconnects... set modem speed to 57000 from 115000. See if disconnects stop. 1-21-2001 disconnects did not stop. Maybe 1x per day changed modem back to 115,000 and selected 'uncompressed' 2-4-2001 Still disconnects installed new modem driver v5.92 dated 10-26-2000 2-17-2001 old driver was v5.42 dated 6-15-2000 I had deduced the fault did not lie with the ISP because I never had spontaneous disconnects with my desktop, which has a hardware modem. If I recall correctly, the updated driver was not dated and I had to deduce from the version # that it was newer. After installation I did see a date, but not before. Undated downloads, hints and tips are one my gripes. Sometimes I find computer advice that is years old and obsolete, but you wouldn't know it at first glance. Gottfried
