I have a problem in that if the machine crashes and reboots, the modem stays connected and PPP can't get ahold of it to re-dial. Is there anything that I can put in rc.local to force a hangup before ppp tries to dial, or is there an option I've missed in /etc/ppp/options to tell the modem to hangup when ppp terminates, or is it too early in the morning to think about these things? Thanks very much. M. -- "Let x=x" Martin Loeffler, Curator of Computing Technology TEL Centre, Faculty of Education, University of Toronto martin.loeffler@utoronto.cao.ca
