Hi,

I have three possible ways to get to the internet from my FreeBSD gateway.

1)	ADSL session via netgraph PPTP implementation. The interface used is ng0

2)	ISDN dial-up via netgraph PPP. The interface used is ng1

3)	direct connection (limited bandwidth), interface is sf3

Currently when the link I'm using fails, I have to change rc.conf or
/usr/local/etc/mpd/mpd.conf and to use a different connection. Not always
around to do that, I'd like to see this happen transparently. Is there
software available to do this? Please advice

TIA,

Peter
