1. Diald does not monitor your browser it monitors packets that cross an
interface. When the timeout for the last packet to cross the interface is
reached then diald closes down the link. [http traffic is constantly
starting and stopping, thus it tends to have the longest idle timeout of any
traffic monitored and diald cannot immediately drop the link when a
connection end packet is sent.]
2. If the line remains up after the idle timeout you've set for http
traffic then you need to discover what traffic is crossing the link and
keeping the line up.
If you've enabled a fifo control file (I'll use /etc/diald.ctl for this
example) then try 'echo queue > /etc/diald.ctl' and check your logs for the
traffic. Using dctrl and/or dialmon to view the queue is even better.
