I had the same problem (modem not hanging up due to incoming traffic) but with with an isdn modem Goggling through the net i found a SUSE article that had a active-filter sentence which works very good (at least in my case) The sentence is active-filter 'outbound and not icmp[0] == 3 and not tcp[13] & 4 != 0' Although the article refers to ipppd and isdn ,i think it will work the same for pppd with active filter support, put i have not tested yet Here is the link for future reference http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/fhassel_ppp_filtering.html Stelios ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
