E.g. Telebit T2500 or DSI 9624 LE+. This has been working well for us for a couple of years. I have a script that tries to ping the other side of the link every ten minutes. When it can't it reboot's the KA9Q router (send it a UDP packet with appropriate message), which drops DTR, and then when KA9Q comes back up it raises DTR and the modem redials. A bit of Rube Goldberg but it works... -- Stuart Lynne Computer Signal Corporation, Canada ...!van-bc!sl 604-937-7785 604-937-7718(fax) sl@wimsey.bc.ca
