Perhaps that will work for you too? This should give you more control too. HTH -- Karl E.

pppd ignoring idle option
I'm trying to use pppd instead of diald for dial-on-demand functionality. I've got the dialing and connecting part working. However, pppd seems to ignore the idle x option I'm specifying in /etc/ppp/options. In fact, I even specified the timeout period on the commandline: pppd idle 45 call provider According to the docs, this should cause pppd to timeout and hangup after 45 seconds. However, it never hangs up. I even did a tcpdump -i ppp0 and waited for well over 45 seconds, no traffic was shown. I also tried using idle 2 and pppd STILL doesn't hangup.
