Title: Backup Internet Connection
Post by: Dave Donaldson on October 27, 2002, 11:05:58 AM

I would like to see a dialup connection able to act as a backup to a conventional ethernet WAN connection - say - just in case your broadband connection goes down?

The way it is now, it's one or the other, and has no ability to connect via an alternate connection if the primary is unavailable.

Great link, great script - and it's been updated as of August 2002 so it's not out of date at all.

Thanks - it's just what I was looking for.
