I use pppd for that, so I have interfaces like ppp0, ppp1 ... and so on. To get the usage statistics for these lines I use ucd-snmp on that machine and MRTG on another. The problem is that if some of the links go down for some reason then when they come up they might use a different ppp interface and that breaks all my MRTG logs! How do I tell pppd to staticaly assign the line residing on /dev/ttyd? to ppp? so that no other ttyd* line will take this interface? Any advices are greatly appreciated. Thank you, veaceslav.
