Well, I might dare to say that after changing my /etc/ppp/options file
to what you have in yours it seems that I am staying connected a bit
longer, but still not for very long. Also increased all the wait times
in KPPP.
What exactly does this line 'lcp-max-configure 45' do? Can anyone
translate?
I tried setting it to 145 and it seemed to time out faster. I'm going
to try different values & see what happens. Also try the google thingy.
