Thanx ! Among the advice I got was to use a mo_ speed, which in turn uses the MODEM line flag in /etc/gettydefs (this was given me as separate advice, too) This will HUP any processes attached to a line losing carrier. The problem, though, it turns out, is that my modem cable isn't correctly wired to report carrier loss. Thanx all who said this ! Now, I just have to get the pinouts to rewire the cable. Any volounteers ? :-) Thax all, H+ -- Jon W{tte, Stockholm, Sweden, h+@nada.kth.se
