dialer-watch will do this as well; it basically removes the "interesting traffic" requirement.
To answer what I think is your original question - with basic ppp dial-in if one side is set to an idle-timeout of 60 seconds and the other set to 600, if the router with the 60-second timeout doesn't see any interesting traffic within the minute, it will tear-down the call. That is why you generally want to make sure that you define the same traffic as interesting on both sides and make sure that the idle-timeout matches (when dialing router-to-router). Obviously, Windoze machines don't have an "interesting traffic" parameter but I think you can set a timeout if the connection is idle for some period of time. I've seen a lot of dial-up users start a background ping (i.e. minimized DOS box with a ping x.x.x.x -t running) if they want to "camp" on a dial-up line. That is until ping becomes "uninteresting." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Erick B.
