I don't know about the implementation in FreeBSD, but PPP has a protocol called LQR (link quality report). Some PPP implementations can be configured to drop the connection and reconnect if the LQR reports are below a certain threshold. However, they directly address lost data rather than slow data. However, LQRs which don't respond in time can count against a slow connection. I could also envision a script which pings the ISP side of the interface. If the times come back too slow, you could kill off the PPP session and spawn another. -- Brian Litzinger <brian@litzinger.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
