Im connected to the net via 56k. I have concerns about getting knocked off in the middle of a compile and thus cutting off my download of another dependency. I heard the the "timeout 180" in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file is a purely cosmetic line. Is this true? And if so how can I keep my connection alive? Windows, not worth the CD its burned on. -Remington To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
