Same here. > I'd configure it for dial-on-demand, with loooong timeouts. Yes, that's what I do. Since I get dynamic IP, it doesn't matter if im disconnected for a few minutes if noone uses the connection. As soon as someone uses it (i.e. the cron job fetching mails) it comes back up. If you have a static IP, things are different. Just start a background job in your ip-down script (see "disconnectprog" in isdnd.rc), that does something like sleep 5; ping -c 5 any-host-on-the-internet Martin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
