What I'm looking for as not disconnect with an active ip session going.
Currently, it will disconnect after the timeout is up, even if you are
still connected to a remote host. It would be better if the ppp program
didn't disconnect if there was an active session. By active, I mean any
remote connection. My unix box gets news at 2:00am, when I'm asleep.
I would like the ppp session to close 2 minutes after the news
gethering is done, so I would want to set the timeout to 120. However,
it I do this, it will cut out my newsfeed after two minutes, since
no 'new' remote connections occurr from the startup time of the news
connection. Is this more clear?
