I would like to keep my PPP connection "busy" even during the time, when I don't use it. Otherwise my ISP will log-me-off after a couple of "idle" minutes. A work around is to telnet to any Internet sites and start a loop (in my case in csh): % while 1 > sleep 120 > date > end
This works but I would prefer something more *automatic*, i.e. which will work without my explicit action. Does it exist any Debian package which would do the above "line keeping" ?
