Re: Keeping dial up connections alive

Hello Robyn,

Yes I would like to have them. Can you email them to me?

E-Smith is a good distro but dial-up has always been a pain to get
right. A friend of mine put a script in my server somewhere to manage
this and I lost the note about what he did. I want to upgrade my server
and install E-Smith 5.6.

Cheers,
Anthony
