I know this is a FAQ, but I still cant find the answer. I want to get ppp to dial and connect to my ISP with a single command. (from a cron job actually) At the moment my ppp.conf looks like this :- work: set speed 38400 set device /dev/cuaa1 set ifaddr 202.21.8.125 192.189.54.25 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\ \T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set phone 131929 set login "TIMEOUT 9 Username:-\\r-Username: myname word: mypass > ppp name: myname word: mypass set timeout 120 Which is great - but I still have to manually send the 'dial' command to ppp before it will actually dial. How can I get it to dial without manually sending the dial command. (Dial on demand is not appropriate) Thanks Anthony Hill ahill@connect.com.au
