I wrote a series of scripts to handle this (however a virus infected my partition table - am still re-installing), basically it involved creating a lock file when the network is up (in the ppp-connect script), and removing it in the ppp-off script. Then just check if the file is there in the popclient script. If you want my scripts I'll mail them to you once I finish re-installing. -- Run.exe First Law of the Universe: No law applies to ALL of the Universe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntplx.net/~runexe/ Finger me for PGP key
