I am forced to disconnect and make the connection again. It is really not a problem for me, but what if it happens at a customer's site, when I am not present ? Is there a way to instruct PPP or PPPD to discnnect and reconnect in case of bad thruoghput ? Or would it be better to progrma it to hang up and dial again fro time to time (ugh ! don't like it !) And again, I know I can prevent users from accessig http, or else, but I would like to know how, where, and which programs/files to mess up with. TIA !
