Why not ask your ISP? Their logs will have messages too, and if their
killer daemon's killing you, they'll know.

As a user of a Banksia Wave modem dialling an IAP who uses Netcomm modems,
I'm iinclined to suspect some issue concerning your modem and your IAP's
hardware. Again, your IAP is likely to know about such problems.


I know there's a problem with my setup: Banksia has said so. Furtunately,
the problem's not too serious and as my IAP adds modems the problem
diminishes.
