Re: pppd on demand trouble

2003-01-31 Thread Kevin . Bewley
Hi, I seem to remember if you use DEMAND dialing you shouldn't use PERSIST and vice versa - one or the other only. Seems logical if you think about it.. Personally I use demand with an idle set for 10 minutes so that my ppp is dropped if I don't access the network for 10 minutes at a time.

Hi, I'm using Debian 3.0r1 stable on a dialup in the UK. I'm using PAP authentication that CHAT's to the modem then launches pppd and away we go. What I'd like is for the machine to check and set (if necessary) the system clock based on the time from one of the many timeservers on the internet.
