Look at the pppd man pages and check out the lcp options. These will enable a low level "ping" which will kill pppd when it fails. Note that there are also the scripts ip-up and ip-down which are run whenever pppd gets/loses a connection. The real problem is that pppd is not noticing when the modem quits. If your modem is configured properly and you have a good modem cable, there a are control lines that pppd can use to detect this. See the "crtscts" and "modem" pppd options. Good luck. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
