Yeah but that is a nasty hack way...
The best way is with a metric value... so when the net is access (or some tries) then it just dials the backup line

| Post subject: | Backup Dial-Up Setup |
We had this nifty setup at my old work when the ISDN went down the mail server would switch to the next metric which was the 56K dial-up. Just wondering if anyone has done similar on their Linux box and how they achieved it. (Wouldn't mind adding it as an article on the site) |

Wouldn't a simple way of doing this be to have a cron job that checks whether the ISDN (or whatever) is up and if it isn't initiates the dial in on a modem line?? What do other people think?? |
