In the man page this is described as the timeout used to drop the link,
if no packets have crossed the link.
Though it seems what this timeout REALLY does, is times out if a packet
in not received from the remote peer. As in my case this timeout will
expire if diald dials up the remote peer, sends all its packets that are
buffered, hence packets actually cross the link but only in one
direction.
Is this how it should be? If so then maybe the man page needs updating
as to the definition of this timeout.
