I know this has been discussed before, but most of the posts I could find just rave about having the dsl router doing the connection and making the external interface on the linux box just another eth interface. Unfortunately I'm dealing with a modem that is just a modem, not a router. We usually have a separate IP-COP box to handle this. IP-COP is very good at detecting when the PPPOE connection drops, and redials immediately. I've just set up SUSE 9.3 as a firewall, set up the DSL as PPPOE in Yast, selected "at boot" mode. Fine and dandy, as soon as I restarted networking, the dsl0 device came up, had a bogus IP for a few seconds, and then got the connection to the ISP. BUT, to test, I unplugged the phone line, plugged back in. That's 10 minutes ago, still no connectivity. How do I setup SUSE 9.3 to redial as soon as the connection goes down? Thanks Hans
