A member of this group helped me set up a pppd server that will reconnect when disconnected. It is more elaborate than this but basically while : do pppd call ....... sleep 30 # pause before retry done then I killed the pptp process and watched it start up again. The one problem is, the owner of the VPN said it didn't disconnect correctly so I soon used up all the IP addresses in the IP pool. Is there a way if a pppd or pptp process dies, to send a normal exit or disconnect so this won't happen? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
