This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_1599_01C15304.8C029A80 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have I4B running nicely on 4.4 release and I am wondering if anyone on = the group could help with a problem I am experiencing (using = isppp/isp0). I have a phone package that allows me unmetered calls Mon-Fri 18:00 to = 08:00, allday weekends (those in the UK will recognise this as "BT = SurfTime"). The ISP makes no guarantee that calls outside these times = will not be answered - indeed the number is dialable, the ISP just = refuses the PPP logon. When I used an analogue modem I just use to schedule with cron to kill = ppp if it was still running out of hours, and start it in autodial mode = if it was not running during unmetered time. Now I am using an ISDN link, and the possibility of heinous call charges = if I get it wrong, I would like some advice. Q. I have looked at the "valid" isdnd.rc statement, can this handle = these timebands ? Q. Can I do this with "rates" ( I have not looked into this much ) Q. Do I just need to schedule an "ifconfig isp0 down" and "ifconfig isp0 = up" ? If I run isdnd manual when isp0 is configured and up isdnd appeared to = hang, if I killed it, took the interface down, then run it it works OK. Q. Does isdnd like the isp0 going up and down when it is running ? Q. Would it be simple to move back to ipr0 and ppp ? Thanks for any help (I'm not on the list ( the Systems' guys at work don't like it, can you = please cc me) Steve ------=_NextPart_000_1599_01C15304.8C029A80 Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dwindows-1252" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2><FONT size=3D2>I have I4B running nicely on 4.4 = release and=20 </FONT>I am wondering if anyone on the group could help with a problem I = am=20 experiencing (using isppp/isp0).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>I have a phone package that allows me unmetered = calls Mon-Fri=20 18:00 to 08:00, allday weekends (those in the UK will recognise this as = "BT=20 SurfTime").
