Your link problem is possibly due to Telstra putting new equipment in at
the exchange, I had this problem about six months ago. You can't do
anything except ring Telstra and shout lots...Won't get you any where,
I've tried.

The solution to you prob. would be a small peice of software called
diald, which is a dynamic dialer deamon...I don't have any other info at
the moment, but the software is on "sunsite.unc.edu" in the system
section I think...Have a look.....

Cheers....
