If the first one didn't work, the second certainly won't. BTW, I think
it should be more like:


`14 6-24/1 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/isdnctrl/isdnctrl && 
/usr/sbin/isdnctrl/isdnctrl dial ippp0'


_Anyway_... dunno how cron is set up on suse, but it could be that you
need to chmod u+s, or chmod g+s the isdnctrl program. 

And, is that definitely the correct path? What does 'ls -la
/usr/sbin/isdnctrl/isdnctrl' say?

Cheers.

Alex.
