Ahh, that's the part I missed. Sounds like his flavor of *nix (and/or a driver) is automatically de-configuring the interface upon link failure/call hang-up/etc. Sven, are you using a multi-line ISDN or analog dial card? Or separate modems (serial or USB)? Or, is this actually a multi-line aDSL/cable setup, with the physical server connections being ethernet? You said "all dial-in" but some folks use "dial-in" interchangeably with "dynamic IP aDSL/cable". I'm just trying to get on the exact same page so we can help you solve this. -- Stan
