I don't know about your specific question, but you can tell (userland) PPP to dial only when there is traffic. This can be accomplished with the -ddial flag. That may or may not be what you want to do though. One other solution ... I know of a guy who had a modem that was always re-dialing, so he attached a light switch on his phone line, and would switch it on when he wanted his modem to connect :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
