Hi Paul, cron jobs are ok. The only one running from that you mentioned is exim. And it should only run every 53 minutes: # 53 * * * * mail if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim ]; then /usr/sbin/exim -q >/dev/null 2>&1; fi
I commented it out (as shown), but dialing goes on. In the manpages it says, that I won't have to restart cron after shanging jobs. So it should have worked. The logfile stats Jan 4 14:56:43 coma diald[169]: Trigger: udp 192.168.0.1/138 192.168.0.255/138 before modem is dialing, but not always. This port I found in services: netbios-dgm 138/tcp # NETBIOS Datagram Service netbios-dgm 138/udp If this is a hint, who is using this port ? Regards Klaus.
