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/

System - 6.2 but not using wvdial (didnt like setting the remote ip address). Using bits from 6.0 suseppp.

I want to keep this PPP link up permanently but despite a ping every 30 minutes it does drop for other reasons. (bad phone line etc)

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.

If you have a script for connecting, just put it in /etc/ppp/ip-down -- Daniel Vedøy Your mouse has moved. Windows needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
