Re: pon - When am I connected?
I just start a ping to a known good ip number and wait until it starts getting the pings back. Once they come back I know the ppp conection is up and alive.

RE: Pon - when am i connected?
You can use the ip-up and ip-down scripts located in /etc/ppp. The ip-up script is run when a ppp connection is successfully made. Parameters are passed to this script that can be used to echo the connection data wherever you want (tty, ttyp0, etc). You can use ip-down script to display a message when the connection is brought down. I also have a couple of lines in these scripts to place a date/time entry into a file to keep track of my logons/logoffs. -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
