Hope this gets out, My ISP's mail server has been awfull hungry here the last few days. Anyways, I've been trying to get ppp -auto working, I get it running, ps aux shows it, ppp.log says: % ppp isp ... ... ... ... Automatic mode Working in auto mode. % ppp.log shows: listening at 3000 PPP started How does one get it to connect?? Nothing seems to make it callout. Sending mail, popclient, telnet, ftp... etc... etc... What am I missing here?? Yup, I can 'telnet localhost 3000' as stated in 'man ppp', Everything looks ok except for ppp vs PPP. (not connected) My goal: Auto mail transfer. A cron job to (check/get) (for/mail) every x minutes/hours. When there is mail to go out, Connect, send it, If theres new mail waiting, retreive it. Thanks all. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg... Where minds meet (207) 929-3848
