Hello, You can also use pon since the new pppconfig will support dial on demand. The trick is to issue the pon statement following your boot up. That will configure your network to listen for outgoing packets and start the link automatically (like windoz does) and stop it at a preset time you configure. Simply start pppconfig and edit your current account and check the advanced section, add 'demand dialing' and 'idle shutdown time'.
I'm using it on two boxes and it seems to work quite painlessly. Or just 'pon' when you need and 'poff' when you're finished. best regards On Friday 16 March 2001 10:32, Eric Richardson wrote: > Carel Fellinger wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 14, 2001 at 09:43:15PM +0100, Gergely Nagy wrote: > > ... > > > > > I checked some docs, and got lost.
