I fail to understand why diald is needed at all. These are cable modems, right? The cable modems we're using are Zeniths ... 4Mbps upstream/downstream. Does your friends modem require use of the phone lines for any reason? If not, seems to me a 'shutdown -r now' command is gonna bring the link down as it reboots.
Am I missing something here, or are you? :) -- Nathan Norman : Hostmaster CFNI : [EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key and other stuff Key fingerprint = CE 03 10 AF 32 81 18 58 9D 32 C2 AB 93 6D C4 72 -- PS - This sig doesn't reflect my "real" job ...
