I just have my ip-up script (it's a ppp config script, see man pppd) touch a file in /usr/local/etc/ppp when I connect, and ip-down remove the file when I disconnect. Then I can just check for the existence of that file, and know if I'm connected. Alternatively, you could check the output of "netstat -r". -- Rob
