Whenever I open netscape while a ppp connection is active the connection goes dead. I can have netscape open when i connect, or even have netscape open the connection and there are no problems. I do have another (internet) program open when I'm opening netscape, if that makes a difference. Here is what I'm using, for the record: Motorola 28.8K bps modem Free PPP All the regular Internet utils with which a mac comes a StarMax 3000/160 PPC mac clone Can anybody help?
