I'm thinking (don't tell me, I know that's dangerous) about automating my PPP connection and don't care to have the modem interupt any call already using the line. I *think* most modems can go off hook and then stop upon failure to detect a dial tone but I'd like to avoid that "click" on any call in process. On another topic, the generic PC box I just put together to host FreeBSD has an indention in the front for the Mom & Pop PC store to put their logo. I was thinking a little red face needs to go there but didn't find one the right size in the Walnut Creek catalog that just arrived. Is there a source of little red BSD daemon stickers? If not, why not?
