From the options section of man pppd on a full linux distro: persist Do not exit after a connection is terminated; instead try to reopen the connection. So if you have the persist keyword in your /etc/ppp/options file as described at http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bumodem.html , the router should automatically redial. Somebody with Bering PPP experience, please collect me if I am mis-speaking. You can also setup demand dialing, if you prefer, by replacing persist with demand and adding an idle sec entry as described in the same doc. thanks for the help :) Glad to help. I just read the PPP configuration information from the URL above. It seemed to do a fair job of describing the differences between the Compuserve example and providers using PAP like Earthlink. I am probably biased from having some Linux PPP experience though. If you have suggestions for improving the docs, send them to the list.

Maybe having connection info on how to connect to several different ISPs for examples or perhaps more information as to what exactly is going on. I used to be able to do all sorts of things with modems under dos, but it's been so long I can barely remember anything. I do remember there being an AT setting that most modems had that allowed you to set the volume (S0, S1, etc or S=1, S=2, etc). Would this be an extra AT command just prior to ATDT? or would this be a part of ATZ? I can't remember whether ATZ is the reset or part of the setup... I seem to have lost my USRobotics CD case with all sorts of useful AT commands :( If I have time somewhere between now sometime I'll see if I can find generic AT commands send them Jacques' way as extra info to include. thanks for the help :) Glad to help.

Ok, now I feel like a complete idiot... I only read that 5 or 6 times over the last 2-3 weeks. I must have been asleep when I glanced over it again the other day. Then again that wouldn't surprise me with this new job... we're setting up a new warehouse, 6am-6pm Mon-Sun is standard, I drag home fall asleep on the computer :) However, I'm not sure what exactly PAP or CHAP authentication is I only have a vague idea of what the windows RAS server is. Prior to asking all my questions I did check out the earthlink site to see if it contained any useful info... only thing I found was windows, been there, been hacked.

For information on how Linux PPP works, the Linux PPP HOWTO is a good resource. It's at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/ . Earthlink used to publish linux connection instructions, but they don't seem to now. Looks like they're still available via help.mindspring.com (EL and MS merged in 2000): http://help.mindspring.com/support/browse/general_info/toc/d0119.htm http://help.mindspring.com/modules/01400/01419.htm --Brad Patrick --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
