Hi. I have a adsl connection with Alcatel Speedtouch usb modem. running on rh 7.3 with SMP kernel. I have no problem on connection. But after a period of time the connection breaks and i read in /var/log/messages "Jun 22 14:53:00 XXXXX pppd[xxxx]: Terminating on signal 15." and "Connection terminated." what does it mean??

Sounds like the ppp daemon was killed by someone/something with a signal 15 (go through the normal termination process of notifying the parent process that the child process is dying, and once recieving an acknowledgment from the parent, the child process dies) It is not a force kill. My guess is that there is a timout setting set somewhere, prob in ppp daemon config. (I'm not real familiar with ppp).

HTH
