That's what "not documented" means. ;^). If you look at their marketing literature, you will be able to infer it (now that you know what it's for) by looking at the second "dial on demand", transiently connected customer network configuration model. Specifically, it's implied by one of the checkboxes and the ability to schedule periodic polling of the remote MX's for new email, for a mai server on the other end of a dial-on-demand link (e.g. ISDN, in their example). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
