However the modem on the other side of the line is reset every 24 hours and the connection is lost. Is there an easy solution to make ppp redial after a lost connection? It redials automatically when _I_ make a request, but the outside world can't enable the connection, so nobody can gain access to my computer when I'm not there and the connection is lost. Any ideas? Thanks, Peter.
