Don't get me wrong, please. The frequency (if any) of this system will be the frequency you hangup with and call "route" or something without -n or trigger any other DNS query ... And ipppd (in Linux, at least) gives you a mechanism for hooking commands in when IPCP is done and the connection got hungup. That's where you can reset the interface to known settings, fiddle with the routing, start / stop fetchmail demons / sendmail -q, and the like. I consider this a feature :) Of course this applies to static IP addresses as well, but it is restricted to syncppp connections. For rawip connections there are other means. But I guess ISDN under FreeBSD will see the same problems as any other platform and there will be (already are ?) similar solutions. > Glad to hear that .... life could be soooo simple. ... if all the unices would be somewhat more close together instead of being split even more than the few mainstream systems spread all over ?
