With the telephone line unplugged, I still eventually in the evening lost
connection. And I've forgotten to print the "route print" out. damn!

I'll turn the modem log on to see if indeed there is anything that tries to
dial the phone for me.

put finger to keyboard and composed:

Wow, the following information is pretty marvelous. I've no idea the
details
of the ISP is so readily available.

It also indeed seems odd that if the computer will somehow jump to dialup
on
its own accord. Right now, I've just tried the most primitive thing:
I've
pulled the plug from my faxmodem and I haven't lost the connection for a
day. Hope this will be the solution.

I'd still look at your modemlog to see if Dial-Up Networking has
logged any connection attempts. Maybe you have a rogue app or dialer
on your machine.

Ah, good point, Franc.
