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.
