Well, I repost the thing since it seems the mailing list server ate it. All right, I have attached the stuff I have tried. First net_monitor and tools.pm; these patches go together. Comment : I have changed code a bit :-). My feeling is that the connected_bg routine, although elegant, is not precise enough to achieve a good control of what is going on. The problem is that the background process restart automatically and it's difficult to control what it's doing with a timer-run task. I don't have time enough to solve the problem with connected_bg, sorry. Second drakconnect and adsl.pm; here is where I have tried to make the expert mode, with only partial success :-/ The big problem is that the device used for net connection is not saved anywhere, to the best of my limited knowledge. I would have liked to save it in drakconnect.conf, entry ADSLModem, but : ADSLModem= # Obsolete information. Please don't use it Argh. Why? So I have used gateway device instead; it's not correct but it's the best I found available for a quick hack. There is also a huge problem because I have changed only for the adsl pppoe case, the only one I can test...That's because I'm not sure where the real writing of the net_cnx_up file (and friends) should occur. I'm hoping for a bit of comment and advice here. Thanks, Gerard
