However, I'm not really satisfied with this solution and I'm looking for a command to be used from the command line. Here's why: I use my connection for two different things. One is interactive sessions, and the other is batch transfer of files. When in an interactive session, I don't want the connection to drop after a short idle time because I have found out that I fairly often just stare at the screen reading what's on it without any traffic on the connection. I think an idle time of 5 or 10 minutes would be good. On the other hand, when doing batch transfers, it makes sense to hang up the phone immediately after the transfer is finished -- no sense in giving money to Deutsche Telekom. I read the following man pages: isdnd, isdnd.rc, ifconfig, spppconfig. I couldn't find anything about dialing or hanging up the phone in dial-on-demand mode. The closest I could find was spppconfig telling me about the `phase' of the connection, but it turns out that spppconfig doesn't accept a `phase=dead' parameter, and the `phase' keyword in ifconfig is for AppleTalk. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have. kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
