Try using `fping' on your network gateway host. e.g.:
if fping -q $GWHOST
then
popclient ...

Or, if you prefer compactness (also good for crontabs):
fping -q $GWHOST && pop

This is useless for me. I keep getting ESC[3~ when I type delete. With
the latest ncurses libs I still have to use stty erase ^H to be able

Here's my crontab entry. Every 5 minutes, fping tests whether we can connect

Hi,
If I want to ftp something onto my home computer (via a ppp link over
my modem to my university), I currently have two options available to
me. I can use a two step process: first ftp the stuff from the site
in question to my account at university, then ftp (I use ncftp) the
stuff from uni to

Looks OK (we can include a mouse interface). But what is required more then
a new look is the ability to list only the 'installed' packages, or select a

While compiling dpkg, the configure scripts says:

So what I am supposed to do? I thought I had the most recent possible

Thanks for any advice,

If you usually want "a4" sized paper, then /etc/papersize will simply

If you like us letter format better, the /etc/papersize file will

Hi,
I'm afraid I can't reproduce this behaviour (downloading

Hi,
I seem to have a double problem to use ppp.
1) If I try pppd as a normal user, I get an error that I miss write access, and
pppd exits immediately. This should be easy...

Hi,
Just a quick question. I was looking through the log for sendmail this
afternoon and noticed that it stopped recording where mail was comming
from and only recording who the mail is for.
What is causing this to happen ? and how can I get it to record who the
mail is from and who it is to.
