First, make sure your sendmail_flags entry in /etc/sysconfig looks like: sendmail_flags="-bd" Leave out the "-q30m", otherwise, sendmail will cause your network link to start up every 30 minutes. If that doesn't work, you'll have to set up PPP filtering to have it *not* connect with certain kinds of packets---the kinds that cause the link to start up. I've never done this, but I'm sure someone on the list has. Also see the file /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.filter.sample. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
