Run tcpdump on your linux box to investigate what packets are being passed
across it. I used:
tcpdump -i ppp0 # when I had a similar problem.
In my case it turned out that a samba server in the office I was dialing
was broadcasting netbios packets and this was keeping my link up. I took a
two fold approach to solve this:
1) I ignore those packets in /usr/lib/diald/standard.filters
2) I dropped the packets with ipchains
I'm not sure which gets them first. I would hope that ipchains actually
gets the packets before diald... I suppose I should really look into this

Subject: DIALD does not drop the connection
Hello,
I have managed to get Red Hat 6.1 and DIALD working now. I get DIALD to
call /sbin/ifup
ppp0 to initiate the connection. I created ppp0 using linuxconf. This seems
to work fine.
However, when I close my Win95 client browser the line is not dropped.
Does anyone have any ideas why?
Cheers
Darren.
