I suppose you mean in the Network|Modem properties, where it says 
"Modem:"? It has "Apple Internal 56k Modem (v.92), the same as the 
MacMini.  I don't think this should be a factor, since if the modem 
cannot connect using v.92, it should continue trying previous standards 
that it support until one is found that is common to both ends.  AFAIK, 
the internal modem supports v.92/90/34.  Besides, at the momemt of 
establishing modem protocol, no PPP is being used yet.

That I did, but it wasn't very helpful, in that it only reflected that 
the connection was lost or dropped.  But at the times that it crashes 
while using the computer, nothing is added the to log -- apparently it 
panics before the connection has a chance to drop.

That said, I am really keen on holding the 10.4.1 update as a suspect, 
since I have already used the computer for about 24 hours since I 
re-installed the system (without the updates) and not a single crash so 
far.  The computer has gone through all the motions it did before that 
"caused" it to crash:  Going to sleep, wake up, screensaver kick in, 
all the time while staying connected to the Internet via dial-up.

Does anybody know of any issues between 10.4.1 and the ppp kernel 
module?
