Hi,
I've set up ppp and run it using ppp -alias -auto pmdemand on a system
running FreeBSD 3.2 (NO X-Windows).
If I run ppp any other way (ie. substitute -auto with -interactive
or -background) ppp does not work.
My actual problem is, I cant seem to stop ppp from always reconnecting if
the link goes down. If the link goes down, I DO NOT want my unix box to try
to dial up again and re-establish the link. I have tried the lines:
set redial 0 1
set reconnect 0 0
but these seem to have no effect - my unix box will always dial up over and
over (changing the timeout figures do seem to have an effect). The above
two lines are in the correct place in ppp.conf. Is there something I'm
missing? Is it something to do with the fact I'm running ppp in auto mode?
Please find attached my ppp.conf file.
Any info appreciated.
Regards,
Lomax
