i like the idea.  i don't use vbox or isdnlog at all.  

'isdnmon' is probably a better name than 'isdnmonitoring'.



also, i've been meaning to submit a bug report about the following:

one thing that would be really great would be if isdnutils could be
upgraded WITHOUT taking down any running ippp connections. it's a bit
difficult to upgrade isdnutils on a remote server when your only way of
getting to is via an ssh session over the ippp0 link.

the ssh package used to have a similar problem - all ssh sessions were
terminated when the package was upgraded...which meant i needed a telnet
daemon running in order to safely upgrade ssh (which defeated part of
the purpose of using ssh).

anyway, take a look at how ssh solved that problem...there may be useful
ideas in there for you.

you want me to submit a real bug report or is this message enough to get
it added to your TODO list ?
