In FreeBSD it would be -auto. For Red Hat, it looks like you need the diald rpm: RedHat Linux instructions for automatic dialing The following are instructions for setting up redhat linux to dial out to the internet only when you need to make the connection. Whenever you try to access anything that needs the internet such as a webpage, ftp, or telnet it will automatically dial your PPP connection to us and stay up for an amount of time you set before automatically disconnecting until your machine needs internet access again. http://www.salsgiver.com/redhat.html -- Kind regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
