A summary of your original message: I have a 24/7 connection and couldn't be bothered to figure out how to do dial-on-demand. Can someone tell me what to do ? My response stands. Read the manual. You clearly haven't read it or you would have seen mention of the word ``demand'' and might have been able to figure something out for yourself. How about a bit of experimentation. If things don't behave as you expect, *then*, by all means, post a question. Oh, and you may want to supply some information too - like what version of FreeBSD you're running. Wake up & smell the coffee - very few people will help you out unless you're seen to be at least trying to help yourself. > On 09-Sep-98 Brian Somers wrote: > >> This is my current ppp options file.
