Hi folks, My mom has been using FreeBSD via DSL for some time. I'm about to move her to dial up. I'm going to use userland ppp and postfix. My initial untested idea is to create a script for her which will: - ppp --dial HerISP, - wait for the connection to come up - then flush the mail queue - run fetchmail to grab anything waiting - kill the connection Anyone already done this? Any suggestions? I originally asked this back in March, but now the time has come to actually do the work.
