On a related topic, does anyone out there have a program
which will do the dialing and login-script negotiation for
a slip line. What I want to do is put it in a cron job
that will check for the active line (using ping) then
if it is down, run the above dialin, then do the rest 
of the slip setup (which I already have in a script).

Binary for FreeBsd (1.0.2 soon to be 1.1) would be OK,
or source (with what needs to be set to compile under FreeBSD).

Thanx in advance.
