[StAndrews and Fife LUG] Linux - Mandrake

[bbd]

having managed to get the WinXP system connected and running I know find
that Mandrake and the Alcatel modem can't recover after a boot and I lose
the connection.  the only way I seem to get is to remove the modem.
reconfigure the connections, reboot, add the modem, reconfigure network
connections.  linux and/or the modem seems to hang up after a while.

3 or 4 times this week I've had to do that and it takes hours to recover the
problem. so I've had to go back onto Win XP and look for plan B.
