I'm using PAP authentication that CHAT's to the modem then launches pppd and away we go. What I'd like is for the machine to check and set (if necessary) the system clock based on the time from one of the many timeservers on the internet. What package do I need to do this? How do I make it autorun once pppd has got the ppp connection up and running (I use the pon script) Thanks for your help, Kevin -- Please don't read any further if you're offended by mailservers adding legalese to the bottom of eMails.. ;-) The information contained in this e-mail is intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
