It's most likely BSD then.It is a *nix system. Not totally sure if it's UNIX or Linux. I'm going to guess that it's UNIX. My ISP is the college I work for.
Last time I installed kppp via RPM (RH 6.2), it halted saying wvdial was required.kppp uses wvdial to do it's work. Try it with kppp and set the idle timeout (hangup if idle more than xxx minutes) to 0 or never,
whichever it allows (I haven't used it in quite some time).
KPPP uses wvdial? I don't mean to argue but are you sure? I just ask as it don't seem right. I had to install wvdial on my Mandrake system long after I had already been using KPPP.
Things have probably changed since 6.2 tho :-\
I will check this idle timeout and play with that.There's another change. A few years ago, there was a place to "Hangup after xx minutes of being idle". I don't see it there now.
Wait, I'm back... there is no idle timeout. I found a pppd timeout and
a modem timeout, and from reading the KPPP help thingy I don't think
those are what you are talking about. I see no idle timeout. Arrgghhhh.
