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 ;-) Cheers, Ron the Frog, on the banks of the Paraguay River. -- If the English can survive their food, they can survive anything! -- George Bernard Shaw --- http://personales.conexion.com.py/~rolgiati ---
