First of all I would like to thank you for the response I had to the last question I sent in, it pointed me in a direction which solved my previous problem. I now have another question. My system config is as follows:- PC running FreeBSD, with single ethernet card, and single modem. The ethernet card is connected to our local IPX LAN. Dial-On-Demand PPP connection to our ISP is configured and working. Squid proxy server is configured and working. sendmail & a POP3 server are configured and working, for mail pickup over the LAN from Win95 mail clients. Sendmail will Tx and Rx SMTP mail with our ISP without a problem, as long as the PPP link is up, and it will dial out for outgoing mail. My question is: "how do I get the system to dial our ISP periodically to check for new incomming mail ?". (Note: Our ISP's machine detects our presence, and automatically attempts an SMTP connection as soon as we dial up) Thanks, Wayne. -- Wayne G Boyd, Digital Systems Manager JCE (Aberdeen) Ltd Tel: +44 (0)1224 772030 Fax: +44 (0)1224 772002
