You can find one for windows here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Tcl/Downloads/ Dctrl can use a fifo localy or a TCP socket for remote access. You'll need something like this in your diald.conf: linkname linkdesc tcpport 300 fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl authsimple /etc/diald/auth You can specify the tcp host and port on the dctrl command line or in the menu, then you just give it an access name that matches an entry in the authsimple file. The authsimple file maps access names in dctrl to allowed monitor functions. Here's a sample auth file: # format is: name allow,allow,allow.. # or: name 0x # where allow is one or more of: none, control, config, block, unblock, # force, unforce, down, up, delquit, quit, # reset, queue, debug, dynamic, monitor, # message, connect, demand, nodemand, auth. # eg: # thisuser up,down,message,connect # totalaccess 0xFFFFFFFF biguser 0xFFFFFFFF joe control,block,unblock,force,unforce,up,down,monitor,connect You'll still have to figure out something to switch ISPs. Hope this helps! Mark.
