You can detect loss of Ethernet link, but usually that won't do much for you because most of the possible failures won't be between your PC and whatever it plugs into. In Ethernet or Ethernet-like technologies, you generally can't do any better than using test packets to monitor the availability of an upstream router. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
