If I dial an ISP using i.e. kppp the window will show "logging on to network", will sit for a while, then disconnects from the modem and shows an error window with timeout message. Or using ifup pppx it stops with failed to activate with error 35. If it does connect to the ISP then there is now data flow. Trying to open a website I get the error, unable to connect to remote host. If during such condition I try to send an e-mail I get those errors, host unknown etc. Two days ago before I sent the last message on this subject using kmail I tried to send 3 mails to individuals using exmh. All 3 ISPs I am using could not sent the messages except for one to @hotmail.com. This then shows up in /var/log/maillog as: queued for delivery. These conditions exist usually in mid morning and mid afternoon when most likely the lines must be just jammed.
