Krzysztof ,

Sorry, I didn't understand, what are the dependencies on default-route ?

Let say we have the following

R3(e0)---------(e0)R1 ---isdn----R2(s0)----(s0)R3
                
In case of link R2-----R3 goes down and network between R2 & R3 flushes from
routing table,
I want to bring up isdn between R1 & R2. No Dialer Watch or static routes
are allowed.

As far as I understand method proposed by Carlos:
to put tunnel between R1 and R3 (terminate on S0) and make isdn int on R1 as
backup for tunnel
If s0 goes down, tunnel goes down and R1 will dial R2. Am I right ?

What is special about default-route here ?

Unfortunately this scenario will not work in case of multipoint Frame link
between R1 & R2, as it monitors only interface status
and doesn't monitor of existence of route to network between R2 & R3.

Thanks,

Dmitry

many magic things can be made with tunnel ...

this one (invented by Carlos) would work provided there is no default-route.
am i right ?
(in case of default-route the fake tunnel will stay permanently up)
