Hi,

I use a trash called sify dialer to connect to internet. I am on Ubuntu 7.04. The problem is frequent disconnections. The connection keeps on faltering after say every 10-20 minutes. However if I boot into XP, the connection remains uniterrupted. I don't understand this. Since I hate Windows I don't want to boot into it just for net.

Anyone experiencing this kind of problem.

My friend, who was attracted to linux from me, found this menthord in 6 hours while I struggled for 6 months. I swore to help others with the same. So I am just passing on the favour:D
