It might or might not suit you, but the _diald_ package is EXCELLENT! It automatically monitors the network traffic, and when it will log out automagically for you when you are done, say, surfing the web. :) You can also force it to stay up or block connection by using the _dctrl_ utility (which runs under X). You can also write some small scripts to send signals to _diald_, accomplishing the same things. :) When you tell diald to go down, it will hang up for you. :) I *love* it! :) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineering http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, Canada Keep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
