Quoting Steve Coles (scoles@tripos.com):
> Q. Do I just need to schedule an "ifconfig isp0 down" and "ifconfig
> isp0 up" ?

That's what I do to allow my server to have a 2 hour window for
automatic dialin to fetch mail and news.
I have to admit though, that I'm still running 3.5.x an therefore not
the most current i4b.

For ease of use I wrote some simple scripts to invoke that even take
care to use the connection I want to open by checking the default route.
So I could have cron entries that reset the default route and don't have
to care about that when I run "isdn+" manually to enable the connection.

====8<==== isdn+
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
interface=`netstat -rn | grep default| awk '{print $NF;}'`
/usr/local/bin/sudo /sbin/ifconfig $interface up

> Q. Does isdnd like the isp0 going up and down when it is running ?

I have no problem at all with that.
