If the dial-up is running and the cable is up are you able to ping the WAN address? If so then put that as entry that depends on the dial-up being up.

Sometimes (not often) it goes down. I also have an old dial-up account. What I'd like to do is use salive to monitor the cable. I can set up a few different pings to well known servers or urls. This way if (1) is busy or down I'd check some place else. If all my checks fail (the few I set up) then the cable is out. I have a great little router that has dial backup (well sort of). You can switch between cable or dialup. If the check fail I can then have salive do the switch (I think). What I'd like to know is if the cable goes out, I'm assuming I'd loss my wan side ip address??? I'm thinking this is what I'd use to see if the cable is back up?? I can't use the normal check now because I'm dialed up and the checks would work. So can I use the wan side ip address for my check to is if the cable is back up??
