It would have made sense to replace pon/poff with ifup/ifdown five years ago. But before the transition could be implemented, ifupdown's handling of PPP interfaces would have had to be fixed. That work was never done. (Or rather, the code never made it into the official package. The fact that the package was never fixed, despite the fact that there were several people who wanted to do the work, is a prime example of Debian's flawed organisation.) Now it is too late -- not only is the heyday of dialup connections long past, but ifupdown itself is nearing the end of its period of usefulness. -- Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
