If you are, like me, prone to forgetting that you are connected to the net 
and want to save a bit on useless conection and phone charges, here is how to 
configure KPPP to chuck you out after a given time without any IP activity:

KPPP => Setup => Accounts => Edit => Dial => Customize pppd arguments...

There add a line "idle nnn" where nnn is the number of seconds without IP 
activity after which you want pppd to disconnect. 
(for 5 minutes, nnn = 300)

This will save me a fortune  ;-)
