So, the ADSL connects again and then ip-up runs fetchmail and it collects mail and then exit.
In /etc/sysconfig/network you have an ifcfg file for your network connection, check it for a variable RUN_POLL_TCPIP and if it's there, set it to "no"
It was not there, but I added it with a 'no'. Will see if it works. PS: I found the setting in the ifcfg.template, but it had no value assigned. From the comments, it seems that all ifcfg scripts first checks these settings and then reads the setings for each interface to override these, so my adding of the option to the ifcfg.dsl0 file should work
If that isn't the issue, then I don't know. You'd have to grep around for something in the networking that messes with fetchmail. the poll.tcpip script is the only thing I'm aware of, but if you've made local changes it could be somewhere else I guess
I commented the fetchmail stuff in poll.tcpip, so it should work fine for now, but I suppose an upgrade or patch will overwrite that file again.
