Dial on Demand with smpppd
Hi all I am having problems with dial on demand with SuSE 8.2 and smpppd. I set the modem provider to dial on demand but this does not happen, I have to start the connection manually. What is the correct way of getting this working & does anyone have any info on smpppd that is better than the limited man files?

Hi all
I am having problems with dial on demand with SuSE 8.2 and smpppd. I set the modem provider to dial on demand but this does not happen, I have to start the connection manually.
Change /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ppp0 STARTMODE='onboot' ttfn Nik
Ok, I now have the demand dial working, yast somehow forgot to set the device to start at boot. Now that I have it connecting, how can I keep it online if it drops off, I have tried AUTO_RECONNECT='yes' in the provider config file, but that does not seem to work, any ideas?

When you were setting it up with Yast did you change the Idle Timeout on the Connection Parameters page? I usually set mine for 30000 which seems to take care of such things. Richard

Or just to zero (0), if you want it to be infinite. It won't hangup until you tell it too. Patrick -- --- KMail v1.5.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
When you say "to zero (0)" do you mean "idle 0" in /etc/ppp/options? BandiPat wrote:

Donn, Without looking, I believe that is right. I think it has choices from 0 to 600? Just use 0 and it will stay on until either you disconnect or your ISP does. patrick -- --- KMail v1.5.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
