It is there. Sporadically, however, I am knocked off for good. Ifconfig ppp0 lists no device and after a time, no ppp is running. Since I have a home dynamic IP, such a script could also update the dn server as well if it must reconnect. Another, related question: Ssh updates its known host file everytime a new host is accessed. If I test my connection, each new temporary IP gets placed in this file. A waste--is there a way to defeat this or do I simply delete the file occasionally if it gets too big? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
