You don't really mean this, do you?  You have just flooded a mailing list
with at least 500 subscribers with an 1.4 Mb sized log file - causing
about a *Gigabyte* IP traffic to the list host crynwr.com.

If you want help from the list, please send a log file of ONE call,
being at maximum about 300-500 lines in size, not all the junk you can 
find somewhere on your hard disk.  And write from a real account, NEVER do
things as "root", especially not e-mailing.

Russell, can we add a maximum size filter?  Throw away everything that's
over 2000 (500?) lines long and is sent to the list?  It's really not
useful to have such huge mails on the list - nobody can read through
24,000 lines of log files anyway.

(Otherwise, my advise to "root" is easy - if you have three brands of
modems that work, and one that doesn't, don't look for problems in the
software configuration, ditch the modems that do not work....)
