Does it keep redialing periodically or what? ppp(8) on a DSL line is usually invoked with -ddial, that makes it keep dialing when the line goes down. I've been contacted offlist about the linkup & linkdown scripts (I use them on my current setup to flush mail queue & get news), the trick would be to launch a new ppp(8) instance in auto mode when the DSL link goes down and to kill this instance when the dsl line goes up via ppp.linkdown & ppp.linkup. I'll try this setup ASA the DSL line is installed at the office. Thanks to all who responded Regards Eric Masson -- A part ça, moi qui suis habitués aux PC Windows, PC Linux, PC SCO, Atari, IBM RS/6000, SUN Sparc, ... j'ai été un peu dérouté au début.
