It could be nice with some sort of budget control in ppp. A few days ago I found out bb caused a dialup every 5 minutes. Today I found I had been online 27 hours uninterrupted. Some dialup-routers allows a setup of "max a connects/b minutes online over c hours".
Also, I know it is possible to have a longer and longer retry wait between unsuccessful calls, but this is (as far as I can see) not documented anywhere. (Except perhaps archives) Leif To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
