Re: Keeping dial up connections alive

Hi

On the contributor website http://www.contrib.org there were 2 files
that you need to update your e-smith so that it works for dial-up.

Looks like he's made 1 gpl and the other costs.

I've got copies of both files from when they were both gpl. When dialmon
and e-smith-isp are both installed you get a new page in the e-smith
main page, it lets you turn the modem on and off when you want via
choices on the webpage. I used these files with 5.6 and they worked
fine.

Let me know if you want them.
