For an application such as this, diald, if you don't mind the modem being used _whenever_ network access is being requested. I have a 2nd dedicated phoneline and use a demand-dialed persistent PPP connection -- it's always live, and reconnects when it goes down. DSL will happen eventually. -- Karsten M.
