neat I was just wondering what to do when my cable connection dies. I was hoping for a script that with do an ifconfig and if no ppp0 is found automatically redial.
Then I would make it run every x minutes (cron?) Are the options essentially the same for cable as for adsl?? Will your fixes help me or is my idea a better way?
