I had a script back when I ran Slackware which tidied up the ppp launching process. It would redial if I got dropped, email me at a remote site with my IP address, and launch the following (once): % ping -q 300 my.isp.name.server It's one ping every five minutes. Make sure you choose a site close to your dial-in point, as either my ISP or my university's ISP would lose their connection a lot, and I'd get dropped if I was only relying on telnets to remote sites. --Pete _______________________________________________________________ Peter J.
