Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 17:45:34 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3612.1700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3612.1700 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Background: 3.3R on a standalone box ppp / lynx are working great, except that I don't know (read , can't find) how to shutdown a connection when I'm through. I use `/etc/start_if.tun0` which contain `ppp -auto my_isp` to bring ppp up at boot-time. As it is, I have to wait for `set timeout = 300` to kick in, or use `kill -HUP "ppp pid" `. -sidebar- Buried somewhere deep in /usr/ are html-type docs etc in languages other than English which are of no use to me. It is safe to nuke these dir / files? -duke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
