I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a question. I'm using KPPP and I have a regular dialup connection to an ISP. What I want to be able to do is have it redial automatically if disconnected and email me it's new IP when it gets one after reconnecting.

Thanks in advance,

Adam

I haven't done this personally, but you can setup a cron job to continuosly check to see if you're online (ifconfig will return an IP if you are online, 127.0.0.1 if you aren't) and then email out the new ip after reconnecting. As to how to do it, I'm not sure.
