Good day all Now I'm from South-Africa,here we have adsl router/modems You set the router to do the dialup and authentication and the set it as your gateways box's gateway.Now sometimes the links gets drop and is off for a while.Are there any way,for linux,my gateway of letting me now that the link was/is down.Note that the box is not dialing so there is no adsl-status. What I NEED to do it be able to know if the link is down,and if the link is down use a modem dialup and when the link get back up stop the modem.Any Ideas Thanks _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
