Tried doing this one......

18 12 * * * isdnctrl dial ippp0
18 12 * * * echo "dialling ippp0 from crontab"

that doesn't work at all.  According to man5 this is the correct
syntax to use if I want to dialup my ISP.  /var/log/messages shows
nothing for that time.  Box definitely didn't dial my ISP.

What next ?
