Your problem could be one of the two following:

1.) Your ISP has an innactivity sensor and disconnects automatically
after a certain amount of time of inactivity, check with your ISP
Support 1st.

2. Your Comm softaware may have a timeout configuaration setting,
check out the manual for your comm software. or in the case of
nettamer post this problem in the nettamer NG. and pray.

First, the MODE command doesn't have anything to do with this.

I presume from your comments that you have an internal-type modem?  In that
case, it is probably set up as COM3: or COM4: (possibly with a non-standard
IRQ, since the "normal" setup for these ports shares them with COM2: and
COM1: repectively).  There are "better" diagnostic tools, to be sure; but
since you almost certainly have it handy, run MSD from the DOS prompt.  Then
either press 'C', or click on "COM Ports".  That will give you a quick
rundown on the installed ports in your system.

As for the time-out disconnect itself...  If you are using NetTamer, that is
surely coming from your ISP.  The only practical way to defeat it is to send
some data back and forth across the connection every few minutes.

Actually that's quite interesting.  The person may have the same trouble
as I did when I tried running msd, in that my speech couldn't read what
was on the screen:  either it was being written direct to the screen
Either way, I could not make any sense of the msd information.

  All the best to all

Well, since I do not use any text-->speech device, I cannot comment on that
aspect.  I suggested MSD simply because it is nearly ubiquitous; but there
are certainly other -- and better -- diagnostic tools for comm ports.  One,
which is downloadable from many public FTP archives, is COMTEST, which was
originally supplied as part of FAXModem Wizard Pro, but was later "broken
out" and released as freeware.  I _think_ you might still have to look for
it under the "FaxModem Wizard" name, IIRC -- but then, it's been a _long_
time since I D/L-ed it. <~>

Well, that may not be the fault of your modem. You ISP might be doing
this because you've been itall to long. If that is the case, you won't
be able to override it.

You can just produce a report and do it that way. Type the following
command from dos.

msd /p system.txt

This should generate a report in in the current directory called
system.txt that you can read using any text editor. It will have alll
of the information there for you.
