Re: Is there away to automatic finish a ppp connection?
Hello,
Try diald.
It it a ppp on demand connection:
It dial the modem when an application make a request for an outside
connection (i.e. netscape http://www.netvision.net.il) and
disconnect after the ppp connection is idle for a while.
To my opinion, it is a great help that avoid all the hassle of
connect/disconnect, and also it save me money.
