Re: Cable Internet:- Telstra Advance

Hi Daryl,

Go to: bpalogin.bpc-users.org

There are links to a bpa (big pond advanced) linux HOW-TO/FAQ and login client.

Yes you do get a real IP and yes it is via DHCP.

When you are connected to the service but not loged you receive an IP address vi
DHCP and can recieve data (you are unable however to upload data). So all you need
to do is connect via a standard modem and route all outgoing traffic via the
standard modem and route all incoming traffic vi the cable modem. And there you
have it Free downloads.

I have a question very simple. Could some one tell me how to put a pause in a
bash/sh shell script for a few seconds?



Regards

James Morgan
