I greatly appreciate all suggestions...
I still don't know why I am always connected now that I have dctrl
monitoring the connection queue. This is what is listed on dctrl:
At the top of the screen it says:
Interface ppp0 from 10.1.1.254 to 10.1.1.253
Under Connection queue it says:
udp 10.255.255.255/513 207.208.139.88/513 00:06:59
The time at the end of that line decrements until it starts back up at 7
minutes.
I have seen messages passing through this list that suggest certain types of
messages might be ignored, etc... Where do I find out if some of those
messages are being sent to my diald SLIP interface? I don't see anything
like that in dctrl?
Any help you can offer would be great.
Regards,
Jeff Rudnick
