Thanks to all who helped me with that. I have even got demand dialling working now so that any machine in the network will cause the link to go up. my only problem now is that I need the link to go down and the modem to disconnect after a period of inactivity on the link. I have put in a timeout value of 120 in the ppp.conf file but the connection doesn't die. Even if I connect manually with the same timeout value set the link won't disconnect after even 5 minutes idle time. Once again any help would be appreciated.. thanks ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! =========================================================================
