# ping -A #	Ring bell for each failed ping, to induce human activity:
#		- Kill this dsl_ping.
#		- Manually tell pppctl "down" then "dial".
#	When cable is disconnected (for protection stronger than
#	firewall, when it is known internet definately not needed
#	for a while), if this dsl_ping is accidentally still running,
#	interface then fills with ping packets, & on
#	physical reconnect it (ppp?) doesnt initiate software reconnect
#	to flush, as pppctl shows it thinks it is still connected.

# TARGET=www-proxy.M1.srv.t-online.de
#	I used to use numeric, in case the dsl link is down, & name server
#	is not loaded, but t-online changes its IP number occasionaly
#	The above causes a permission denied, plus it's also likely
#	they'll change a complex name as above.
