Re: ppp times out - cured

Bingo Bingo Bingo - ppp time out cured!


Both Moe Trin ([email protected]) and James Carlson 
([email protected]) questioned the initialization string on the 
modem, which I had never looked at in my troubleshooting.  It was set to 
ATZ, which just told the modem to use the defaults, and had worked 
unchanged for ages.

I changed it to AT&F1, and the problem was instantly cured.  All the 
hours I've spent reading howtos, chasing web pages, booting and 
rebooting back and forth to test theories, etc, must have been just 
karmic retribution for some unknown offense.


Thanks to the two who pointed out the problem, and to all else who answered!
