I suppose the correct command to stop broadband connection is; # pon dsl-provider /usr/bin/poff: I could not find a pppd process for provider 'ds-provider'. None stopped. But it complained, ifconfig showing broadband still connected However running # poff No complaint and ifconfig showed broadband disconnected. I'm installing new Debian, running there # poff dsl-provider Stop broadband connection without complaint. running # poff can't stop broadbank connection even thought without complaint. That makes me confusing. B.R. Stephen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
