Hello list, I know that this is OT for this list, but I know that there's lots of people on this list that may have some input to my problem... I need to disconnect abusers of my dial-up network that are sitting idle for extended periods of time. I am running a Cisco 72xx terminating an L2 tunnel with the traffic going into VPDN's. The Cisco IOS command for ppp timeout idle should work, but unfortunately, with virtual-templates, you can't set what is considered "interesting traffic." So the abusers have found that setting their email client to pop their mailbox resets this timer and they are able to stay on. So far, my only option has been to set an "absolute" timer which kicks them off regardless of their traffic. I would prefer to not do this in this manner as it's not fair to someone who is truly x-fer'ing a large file... I am an "unlimited" service... Any suggestions? I thank you for reading this OT message.
