- On or about 21-Mar-96 10:18:00 Jmonson typed the following words about "Re: Is
- PPP recoverable after reset???". My reply is thus...
-
- Hi Jmonson,
-
-
- >> If I've connected with PPP to my Internet provider and the Amiga
- >>crashed and reset itself (the modem no hang up), may I recover the
- >>connection without hang up and dial again ? How I do ???
-
- J> I don't know about PPP, but my Slip connection will quite happily survive
- J> me reseting my 1200. Often I have had the 1200 crash, reset, reload, all
- J> the while the modem remain connected, all I need to do is "startnet" and I
- J> am away online again. :)
-
- J> Having said that though, I have yet to find a script which will "stopnet,
- J> _and_ hang up the modem" which works... I have found many scripts which

- J> forever.
- J> (the first option is cheaper)

- Hmmmmm... Get rexxserdev.library from Aminet. Then you can use arexx to send a
- hangup command to the modem. Just write a stopnet script in arexx and you are
- all set. I used an arexx script for a ling time to dial my ISP. Then I got
- ppp.device with a built in dialer and a hangup command.
