Short: Redials ppp/sana device upon a hangup Author: devans@ccubb.com (David Evans) Uploader: devans ccubb com (David Evans) Type: comm/net Version: 2.1 Replaces: comm/net/ReStarter* Requires: A Sana device and a TCP/IP Stack Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: Worldwide This program performs the simple function of restarting a sana2 device when it is placed in a offline state. This normally occurs when you are hungup on by a provider or line noise. This program does not require that a ping is used so no additional CPU usage is consumed. This program uses the multi-tasking capabilities of the Amiga to wait for the OFFLINE event to occur. With version 2.1 of this software, this program also responds to an AREXX command to KILL itself. This can be useful to cause this program to exit when you wish to actually terminate your connection. If you are a workbench user, this program now also responds to workbench start-ups. It will use an icons tooltypes for its commands if started from Workbench. It should be noted that with the advent of other TCP stacks within the Amiga world that this software has not been tested with any stack but AmiTCP. It should however work with all as it relies upon the Sana device specification not the underlying TCP stack. The only exception to this will be the BOOTP command which relies upon a AmiTCP program called "bootpconfig". I would be interested in any feedback users of other stacks could provide concerning these new stacks. Legal Stuff: This software is considered giftware.
