It's possible to check the log file for outgoing connections. For incoming connections, mgetty (if you're using it) sets the CONNECT environment variable. Ppp picks this up and enters it in the host field of utmp. Maybe it would be work making the stock getty(8) set CONNECT too ? -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
