I will try that when I fire Gentoo up again. I didn't think of that.

It is a *nix system. Not totally sure if it's UNIX or Linux. I'm going
to guess that it's UNIX. My ISP is the college I work for. Linux would
be free, UNIX cost money. Since we waste money like it grows on trees
I'm sure they paid for something. This is compounded by the fact that
no one in the IT department really knows much, and half of them are 19
year old students.

KPPP uses wvdial? I don't mean to argue but are you sure? I just ask
as it don't seem right. I had to install wvdial on my Mandrake system
long after I had already been using KPPP.
I will check this idle timeout and play with that.
Wait, I'm back... there is no idle timeout. I found a pppd timeout and
a modem timeout, and from reading the KPPP help thingy I don't think
those are what you are talking about. I see no idle timeout.
Arrgghhhh.
Thank your for your help.
