That's why we need control plane separation. Run SNMP, SSH, telnet, and SNTP (Simple NANOG Transport Protocol) across the management network, so we're sure we have them when we need them. Actually, NANOG does great. Especially during Sept 11, information was disseminated, help was offered and accepted, and except for a couple of idiotic flames, the SNR was high. ARPA designed the thing to withstand nuclear blasts, and while this was not nuclear, it stood up well. ericb -- Eric Brandwine | Apart from hydrogen, the most common thing in the UUNetwork Security | universe is stupidity. ericb(a)uu.net | +1 703 886 6038 | - Harlan Ellison Key fingerprint = 3A39 2C2F D5A0 FC7C 5F60 4118 A84A BD5D 59D7 4E3E

Required, but not sufficient. The TCP stack on each side must remain up continuously. If his TCP stack resets and he redials, the first packet he gets from the far end will be met with an RST, and tear down the connection. The easiest way to do this is to put the modem on a system different from the SSH endpoint (router, NAT, FW, whatever). If you are using a NAT or FW in between, it's critical that the state/translation tables not be flushed when the dial interface goes down/up. Of course, if you're running TCP or ssh keepalives (or ssh2 rekeying), and that happens when the link is down, your connection will go away anyway. The proper way to do this is with an X analog of screen. VNC is one possibility. VNC is free, and this would not require a static IP. Then again, we're talking dialup here. Your customer should do this a couple of times before he gets dead set on it. Even with LBX and compression on the SSH session, X over dialup is unpleasant. ericb -- Eric Brandwine | The Windows NT philosophy always chooses ease - both UUNetwork Security | ease of use and ease of development - over security. ericb(a)uu.net | +1 703 886 6038 | - Bruce Schneier Key fingerprint = 3A39 2C2F D5A0 FC7C 5F60 4118 A84A BD5D 59D7 4E3E
