* Donald Orbin <OrbinDRH@elec.durban.gov.za> [20010123 15:34]: writing on the subject 'ppp + dialing different numbers' Donald> I hope this message is coming to the right place... all my other searches have been futile.

Donald> Donald> Regards Donald> Donald I may be wrong and daft but I think this is an unrealistic implementation without anything in mind to be achieved. Why am I thinking this way? o Packets will be sent all the time, right? So which packets do you 'put on hold' (how do you prioritize?) o A connection is already made because there are packets destined to 1.2.3.4 and it is a 2MB file - is it not logical that the server has to wait till the 2MB is sent? Looks like you're looking for what the advanced guys call OSPF (Open Shortest Path First??) Just build a ppp gateway and install ZEBRA from the ports as your routing daemon - and configure it - _else_ try to give us more light on your intentions. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
