Anyone know any patches were my modem can't be disconnected remotely. Like were I can't get disconnected from my isp without the server I'm connected to disconnects me? P.S I did the way surfi told me in a pm about putting the s2=255 or something in my settings and it didnt work. Anything else anyone?
Sean, this suggestion might be "outside the box", but you may try and research the subject...go to google and I'm sure you'll find a few pages with clear enough language that youll understand...
I'm not a computer saavy person also... but if you search for it, you'll find answers....I'm sure there's people in this forum that might help you, but the satisfaction of dealing with the problem yourself is bigger....
A solution would be good, because I still have *cough* dial-up *cough* at the moment and my ISP disconnects me after a 2 hour period (not good when downloading large files at a slowish speed).
If they're using the escape code "hack" (+++ATH0), you can prevent that on putting guard time on the espace code, the +++. This means there has to be 1 second (or another specified time) of nothing before and after the +++ is sent, else it won't go into command mode where they can give hangup commands or anything else. This is a very good protection because it's almost impossible to do remotely. Please check out this page: http://www.modemsite.com/56k/escape.asp.
Basically that page says that you can disable the escape code completely by putting in s2=255 in the extra settings for your modem (like surfi said), but the guard time is a better way, by putting s12=(time you want in 50's of a second for guard time) in the extra settings. I'd make it one second.
