2. When I do issue a "pppd demand call terra", sometimes it dials instantly and sometimes it sits there for a few minutes (one, sometimes three, sometimes five) before actually dialing the modem. Where could this wait time possibly be coming from? I've read _everything_ I can get my hands on and have no idea...
Thanks!
[...] Think about it. pppd is in DEMAND mode. This means that there has to be a DEMAND for internet before it will dial.
Well, that certainly does seem to be a logical thought. I'll test that out later.
From what you're telling me you want 24/7 uptime. Why run demand at all then? It shouldn't be necessary right?
You are right, I want 24/7 because my provider allows it. I run "demand" because that is the only way I know to make the thing dial, then redial if dropped, and keep the connection up always. If there is a better way to get 24/7 and auto-redial, I have not found it. Any suggestions?
