AFAIK, no ready made apps of this sort. It would not be too difficult to script this, and that would probably be the way to go. There is a bash shell script on the net called x-wvdial which stays up throughout the ppp session, and has a time keeper on it. That script can be tweeked to suit the requirement of a fixed cut-off. This is an X app, based on Xmessage. HTH Bish -- : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### Sub : Linux Documentation LOST #070 Where is the DOCUMENTATION ?
