| Yep :-)

Oh, really cool! I always used pppd and linux for dial-in servers. I think
that will change very soon :-) (However its a pity some of the servers are
still i386/4m and I can't do that with FreeBSD I'm afraid...)

That's a good idea. Can I setup also that there's a different prefix on
each line? So that /dev/cuaa0 has just 'ATDT<number>' and /dev/cuaa1 e.g.
'ATDT0<number>' (so that I can use an inside-line for it :-))

By the way, is it possible to make a system that kicks of the user when
calling back after 30 mins or something? We don't want to pay that much
for our user-callback, and really because they don't need more than 15
mins to upload stuff... I thought maybe that's possible in the ppp.linkup
or something? (Can I get the process-number of the running ppp there, and
kill it after a sleep?)

Thanks for your help!
Paul
