Extra thanks for the useful ones! If you get the latest ppp from -current or from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian this will work. Ppp sets CLOCAL, then polls the tty line. This is kinda done for hysterical reasons, but I was never keen to change it because of my plans for multilink ppp. However, having said that, my ideas are now moving towards a multi-process model - one per physical line. This means that leaving CLOCAL off and waiting for a HUP would be the decent thing to do :-) I'll get to do some on this soon ! > -- > Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
