I kill and restarted my ppp connection which did not solve it. I simply powered down the external modem and turned it on again and I was back up and running. I wonder how this is possible to do through the shell. It is easy enough to test the connection and then have it execute a script when the connection is down, but I don't know where to go from there. If it was a dialup modem I could just "echo reset-command > /dev/cuaa0" or something. Separate from setting up my ppp.conf file to get the dsl connection up and running, I don't know how to communicate with my modem/network connection. My ppp.conf file lists my dsl device as PPPoe:rl0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
