What I want to do is put it in a cron job that will check for the active line (using ping) then if it is down, run the above dialin, then do the rest of the slip setup (which I already have in a script). Binary for FreeBsd (1.0.2 soon to be 1.1) would be OK, or source (with what needs to be set to compile under FreeBSD). Thanx in advance. -coranth ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Coranth Gryphon Karma: You can't take it with you, but you can send it on ahead.
