I was going to suggest something along the same lines. Only, create a simple bash script to issue the ifdown eth0 command to your network adapter when you dial up your account, or you might be able to add that command into KPPP although I don't know why you would feel that this is necessary. If you have a good firewall setup which is necessary anyway for the broadband connection, then there is no reason to not just leave the ethernet connection active, it will not be used for anything since the route is shifted dynamically so that everything goes through the dial-up adapter. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
