Hello everyone...
I have a linux 2.2.1 box set up for IP masquerading my local net and dialing
my ISP on demand with pppd 2.3.5.
I must have my routing tables or my ipchains slightly incorrect, because:
1) when I telnet into the linux box from my local lan, it triggers the
pppd autodial. It won't connect the telnet session until ppp is logged in.
2) ppp never hangs up when idle for my set amount of time. Does someone
have an active-filter [filter-expression] that works well? If not, what's
the best way to see what type of packets are keeping the link alive?
Other than tying up the phone line for days at a time, it's working *great*!
Thanks,
Kevin Hunt
