When closing Netscape the connection to the ISP remains open until the timeout interval is reached. Has anyone discovered an automatic way to force a disconnection as soon as an application closes without having to issue command line prompts to ppp? I don't wan't to reduce the timeout below the current 5 minutes otherwise I get disconnected in the middle of browsing.
