[hsflinux] modem dropout

[Wayne Petherick]

All,
I have finally got "nearly" all of the hardware on my Asus MN600B laptop 
working thanks to many helpful souls in the linux community.  I have 
searched hi and low for a solution to my problem with modem dropouts and 
can't find one.  I am using the HSF modem driver from linuxant.com (in 
trial mode) and want to buy the serial so I can connect at 56k instead 
of 14.4.  The problem is I can't get more than about one minute out of 
my connection before it drops out, killing any download and having to 
redial a dozen times to finish loadinga web page.  This is expensive and 
a but stupid.  The error message returned by kppp is 16 (which I think 
is along the lines of modem dropped the connection.  Is there a 
replacement  dialer I should try or is it something with the modem?  

I have disabled my call waiting feature.

Any help would be great.
