Will this be the new official way of configuring i4b? A second advantage: You can sh /etc/start_if.isp0 while the machine is running for changing username/pass. I sometimes do this when using a call-by-call ISP and currently I run spppcontrol by hand. With a script you could add some automatic stuff. I can think of other advantages that go in the same direction. Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
