Even better, why not connect at boot? My /etc/rc.d/rc.local has:
(....)
touch /var/lock/subsys/local # Was already there
ifup ppp0 # So the adsl will be online
/etc/cron.hourly/id-velox.pl & # To fool around my isp's WEB auth
/etc/cron.hourly/nomes.sh & # Dynamic DNS stuff.
fetchmail -d 900 # just in case I lost some email :-)
alsactl restore # Never worried about alsa volume again
This way, I have a ever-connected machine, without the need of even
going into my isp's site and authenticating myself again...
