I just wrote a little script that waits a few mins, runs ppp, sets up a keep alive ping, and exits. Something like.. #!/usr/bin/sh #connectup.sh # sleep 100 ppp work & sleep 100 ping -i 119 some.address.at.work & So I just dial into the freeBSD box, get a terminal session happening, execute 'nohup connect.sh &' and hang up. 100 seconds later my machine dials back into work, establishes a ppp session, and all is cool. cheers
