I have to support that. I used pptpclient a long time for my ADSL connection but switched to mpd(-netgraph), which seems to me more stable and smoother and more "BSD-like". For checking and restarting I used a little shell script which just pings some host and takes the appropriate measures when it can't reach the host. It runs from cron every five minutes or so. regards, le -- Lukas Ertl eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UNIX-Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Zentraler Informatikdienst (ZID) Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 der Universität Wien http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
