hello

i have set up user PPP as per the FreeBSD manual.
i am able to dial out, log in to my provider, and get the prompt
PPP ON hostname>

unfortunately, soon after, i get the demon message
"..routed[45]:deleting route to interface tun) (timed out)", and after
exactly 3 minutes, i am disconnected and get the prompt
ppp ON hostname>

the only way i can keep the connection open is to continually ping my
provider's gateway on another virtual terminal.

this happens with the sysconfig routedflags set to "-s","-q", or "NO"

what gives?
