/etc/autoconnect

Updated: April 19, 2023

Our autoconnect feature automatically sets up a connection to your ISP whenever a TCP/IP application is started. For example, suppose you want to start a dialup connection to the Internet. When your Web browser is started, it will pause and the /etc/autoconnect script will automatically dial your ISP. The browser will resume when the PPP session is established.

For more information, see the entry for /etc/autoconnect in the Utilities Reference.
