Hi,
 
Does anybody know where I can apply for a high speed internet with static IP
address? I want to build a DNS server with redhat linux 8.0.
I am pretty new in this area.
 
Thanks!!
Louie

This is true, but the presence of the Internet link itself implies that
the cable/adsl modem is up[1]. So I would say the answer to the question
is "ping"[2].

[1] Assuming a static address. If it is dynamic someone else might have
grabbed it if your site is down.

[2] Unless the original poster really wants to try to detect the presence
of the modem without an IP bei ng allocated on the interface.
