Hi, When I used RedHat 7.3 and earlier versions in /etc/ppp/options I put the entry "idle 300" which caused the connection to the Internet to disconnect after 300 seconds when there were no more packets coming in or out using wvdial.
This was useful in case one forgot to disconnect after e.g. a download was finished. Now I am using slackware and kppp to connect and this feature does not seem to work any longer. There is no more disconnection after 300 (or any number) seconds when idle. cat /etc/ppp/options lock defaultroute idle 300 noipdefault modem /dev/modem 19200 crtscts passive asyncmap 0 Is there another way with kppp to get the idle option back and how?
