Does anyone have any ideas for dialling again if the link drops. Not talking about dial on demand as the system has to receive as well.
I'm not sure if I understand what you're looking for, here. I've seen utilities (check http://freshmeat.net) that will redail upon disconnect, but I don't see why this couldn't be done with a shell script tied into ppp-up. You'd need to call the script with ppp-up (-go, -on, or whatever) that would `ifconfig | grep ppp0' every n seconds. If ppp0 is found, it would just `sleep 300'; if ppp0 was not found, it would `killall ppp-up' and then re-dial. I'm probably just blowing smoke right now, but it's a thought. Don't forget to check freshmeat! :) -- -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
