Depending on what "once and awhile" means, you might consider shutting down
the interface using `ifconfig' and then firing up your PPP interface. I
use:
$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
and then start my PPP connection. To bring your interface back up, look in
the `/etc/init.d/network' file, find the statement which configures `eth0'
and execute it. All the `ifconfig' statements must be run as `root'.

This would be helpful. I often carry my machine from work to home where I
have dialup access and I have to muck around after the machines boots to get
it to work properly. Does anyone know of such a beast?
