OK.  After getting that business with noauth straightened out, and getting
the chat scripts correct, I now have run into a problem that I am finding
to be very frustrating.

I have three different service providers to connect to, and a couple
different phone lines, and the problem happens with all combinations.
It also occurs with a 1.4K kernel built last August, and a 1.4M kernel
build at the end of October.

What happens is that I'll get the system connected, and start a job, sup
for example.  It'll run for some period of time, say five minutes or an
hour, then traffic stops going over the modem.  About a minute later, the
modem disconnects.

Below is a sample from the messages file.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the problem might be and what I can do
about it?

This is the mac68k port, on a Quadra 650, if that matters...

Thanks,
~Steve
