Created attachment 100715 [details]
/var/log/messages for an Internet session

This more an anoyance than a big problem, but one I'm very aware of, as I
monitor the messages file to keep an eye on the quality of the connection.  

I use

watch 'tail -200 /var/log/messages | fgrep -f modem_pattern.txt | tail -20'

# cat modem_pattern.txt
Sending: ATDT
CONNECT
secondary DNS
Connect time
Sent

Do you have modified your syslog.conf? May it be that you are
forwaarding some messages twice in the log file?
Comment 3 John Thacker 2006-10-25 19:38:21 UTC 
Closed per lack of response.  Note that FC2 is not even
supported by Fedora Legacy currently.
