Errors again, here is the log:

# 09 May 07:29:38 BINK Ring
# 09 May 07:29:54 BINK Connect 14400 Ec/Mnp4

I presume this means Binkley hung up on you.

I presume you got a connect 14400 Ec/Mnp4 your end?

And this one was OK


 RS> This am at 7:30 I got a very early disconnect, earlier than usual in the

Great, now we get into the arduous theories again.  The reason it was
engaged for 10 minutes was because my modem thought you were still
connected, and Maximus spent the next 10 minutes asking you what your name
was.  Therefor, not only did my modem not hang up on you, but it thought
you were still there when YOU hung up.  Therefor I can only assume that it
is your modem that did the hanging up on this one.  Here is the log:

 RS> Be interesting to see if Daves S9 S10 story has anything in it. The
 RS> Spirit does appear to be rather more critical on those than many modems.
 RS> OTOH if you are still using the T Roydhouse authorised settings thats

Yeah, dunno what to do about this.  Either I hang up more easily or I stay
online when I shouldn't, and I'm getting both problems simultaneously! I'm
on S10=2, and I haven't had the modem stay online when it shouldn't, but
that error doesn't occur very often anyway.  I'm interested in your
response to my theory that your modem is responsible for at least 1 hangup,
and possibly even all of them.  Are you forcing it to either get MNP4 or
hang up?  BFN.
