A) No, still running 10.3.4, didn't get 10.3.5 because it's too big to download on dial-up and people have been having so many issues with it. Come to think of it, this might have started with installing 10.3.4 over 10.3.3

B) I'd love ADSL, mainly because there's NO disconnecting involved. Pulling out the phone line doesn't work to stop the disconnecting loop.


Reading the system log in Console makes it seem like the computer is trying to open pppd before it's finished disconnecting, which, to me, sounds like a bad thing to do.

Can anyone with UNIX experience think of a reason not to just
Code:
kill pppd
Next time it happens? Will this cause any lasting damage?
