Hi! I've recently just got my speedtouch modem working under linux (although it still doesn't work under Windoze :-! and have managed to get connected ok, using the SpeedTouch-HOWTO-en.html page.
Now I'm wondering, if I want to stay logged on to my computer but switch the ADSL connection off for some reason (e.g. I want to switch ISPs to use fetchmail from elsewhere), is this possible? I tried "poff -a" which seems to kill the connection, but then I can't get any sort of dialin or ADSL connection subsequently without rebooting. I tried also "umount /proc/bus/usb" but this doesnt work as it says the device is busy. Is there an easy way to effectively do the opposite of the start-up script: #!/bin/sh # Check if all modules are loaded modprobe ppp_generic modprobe ppp_synctty modprobe n_hdlc # Then, check that usbdevfs is mounted : modprobe usbcore mount none /proc/bus/usb -t usbdevfs modprobe usb-uhci # Load the firmware modem_run -m -f /usr/local/progs/mgmt.o pppd call adsl -- thanks alot.
