hi everybody i want to know how can i schedule my red hat 7.3 server to connect to the internet through an PPP connection, (modem) at 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 17:00 for about 25 minutes for each one of them, i think maybe using the cron, but what program do i need to schedule at the cron.
thanks in advance

u can use the wvdial program.. check for it in.. it's the most commonly defaultly installed PPP dialer....

u can use crontab -e to edit the crontab file, and make the addition...

good luck..
