Hello. I'm attempting to move my on-demand dialer from an ancient version of Slackware over to a new RH 6.0 installation, and I'm having some trouble. I'm using the following command to start pppd: /usr/sbin/pppd -detach /dev/ttyS0 10.10.10.1:10.10.10.2 ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote demand holdoff 5 idle 900 debug persist lock noipdefault modem crtscts defaultroute name twern 115200 remotename ppp0 ipparam ppp0 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0' & The system will dial, connect, and work fine as long as there is traffic. However, it disconnects *before* the idle timer expires; it's set to 15 minutes, it tears it down within 2 or 3 minutes of idle. I've attached the messages log file section that shows the process. I'm concerned about the compression messages, but wouldn't think they'd cause a disconnect like this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Ben Wern From the messages log file: Dec 12 18:05:12 charon pppd[801]: pppd 2.3.7 started by root, uid 0 Dec 12 18:05:12 charon pppd[801]: Using interface ppp0 Dec 12 18:05:12 charon pppd[801]: local IP address 10.10.10.1 Dec 12 18:05:12 charon pppd[801]: remote IP address 10.10.10.2 Dec 12 18:11:47 charon pppd[801]: Starting link Dec 12 18:12:22 charon pppd[801]: Serial connection established.
