From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: When using the RH PPP Dialer under the program->internet option in the main menu, the program executes and correctly attaches to the ISP. After running for anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes the modem looses the connection and cannot successfully auto redial. A message is displayed informing the user that rp3 has crashed and to submit a bug report. The application has never stayed up longer that an hour. Eventually the redial option will attemp to dial the phone, or send some signal to the modem, but never works again. I can connect later by killing the ppp process and the wvdial process but the same problem reappears shortly afterwords. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Execute the RH PPP Dialer from the main menu 2.Connect to the ISP 3.Wait for less than 30 minutes and the message the application has crzashed will appear. No recovery except to kill the processes on the process list and rerun. Same problem will occur shortly afterwards. Actual Results: Only have internet access for 30 minutes at a time. Had no problems with this option using RH 7.0. Additional info:
