@Benerd : Write that command script please. Am curious On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 11:39 PM, Bernard Wanyama <bwanyama@eis.co.ug>wrote:
Hi,
If the modem keeps disconnecting, there should be a simple script that can re-establish it instantly (redial) and keep things running.
Kind regards, Bernard

Hi,
You can ease the download pain by using a download manager, if you are not already doing so. Works for 80% of the cases and saves your time and data bundle. The auto resume feature will also reduce your frustration levels.
Kind regards, Bernard

I have been having problems sometimes even when I am downloading, it would just go off without notice making it imperative to restart the download - it really gets to my nerves !

I have been experiencing drops whenever the Safaricom modem changes frequencies eg by moving from UMTS to HSPDA. Also there where 2 days last week that the modem kept disconnecting even when in use. I suspect its a problem on the safcom network side becasue i was experiencing the problem in the same location yet it was not there for other days.
