i like the idea. i don't use vbox or isdnlog at all. 'isdnmon' is probably a better name than 'isdnmonitoring'. also, i've been meaning to submit a bug report about the following: one thing that would be really great would be if isdnutils could be upgraded WITHOUT taking down any running ippp connections. it's a bit difficult to upgrade isdnutils on a remote server when your only way of getting to is via an ssh session over the ippp0 link. the ssh package used to have a similar problem - all ssh sessions were terminated when the package was upgraded...which meant i needed a telnet daemon running in order to safely upgrade ssh (which defeated part of the purpose of using ssh). anyway, take a look at how ssh solved that problem...there may be useful ideas in there for you. you want me to submit a real bug report or is this message enough to get it added to your TODO list ? craig -- craig sanders
