Thanks a lot. I found these in the manpage, and they look right. Is there a way to restart the ppp connection? I vaguely remember reading this somewhere, but I can't remember the details on what the correct steps are. Thanks again Lou On 01/22/03 01:48 PM, JoeB sat at the `puter and typed:

I take it you mean that you added iface clear to the ppp.linkdown? I thought I was supposed to add it to ppp.conf. I'm also trying to figure out the best way to kill ppp and restart the connection clean without having to reboot the machine. Any ideas there? Thanks a lot for the reply. Lou
