[LUAU] backup modem daemon?

2005-07-22 Thread Jeff Mings

Hi all,

   I've been looking for a an existing solution that will monitor a 
network pipe/route, like a roadrunner connection, and dial and set 
routing  firewall settings for a backup modem connection when the first 
pipe goes down.  Of course, I'd like it to restore original routing when 
the pipe is retored.  I could kludge together something with wvdial and 
diald, but was hoping to find an existing solution.  This is for a 
fedore core 3 box.


   Has anyone seen a package/script / daemon that will do this?

Thanks,

-Jeff

forgot what I did, but way back when, I had a fbsd box set up to dial 
out a modem whenever our dsl was down...  so long ago (4 years), though, 
I don't remember what I did.
