Hi!

I have an ISDN-Flatrate and use Gentoo as Server (via Webmin). My Problem is, that I wanted to use Dial on Demand, but it only works once after startup. When the connection has been canceled, I can only put it back on by typing "ISDNCTRL DIAL IPPP0". Perhaps somebody knows an ippp- or isdnctrl-option to change this. Otherwise I'd like to know how to keep my connection alive. Does PING help??? But how?

Sorry for my bad english!

In Hope,
Barthi

Silly me. I thought pppd did that automagically. Further, I thought /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 had an option to allow dial-on-demand.
