I tried it, but I cann't get it to work. I added -r /var/run/ppp.speed to the chat line in /etc/ppp/peers/provider and "REPORT CONNECT" as the first line on /etc/chatscripts/provider (I didn't find anything on the man page that says it has to go in some particular place). I made it output to /var/run/ppp.speed. Would that name be ok? I put it there instead of /var/log/ppp.speed because /var/run gets cleared on reboot, and I don't see any reason to keep the files between reboots. > I can have pppconfig add 'REPORT CONNECT' to the chatscript if there > is interest in this. That'd be nice. Sometimes I like to check the connection speed because the modem did funny noises (funnier than the usual), and a command like ppp_speed (or plog -s, but that's stretching it a bit) would be useful. > BTW has anyone else run across a modem that reports 'CARRIER' instead of > 'CONNECT'? My very first modem did that. But we are talking 1988 (whoa! it's been long) here and that was an El Cheapo 2400 Marcelo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
