pppd runs the dial up access. Add the following lines to your /etc/ppp/options file: demand idle 300
The first sets up demand dialing to allow the workstations to connect whenever they access the internet. The second closes the connection after 300 seconds with no traffic. I'd recommend a firewall (I use shorewall), and you may have to tune some applications not to dial every 10 minutes. At 5:15 PM +0800 10/19/01, Jason Lim wrote: >What is pppd used for?
