Hi again

I have managed to get iij-ppp to connect to my ISP and sorted out the 
routing problems I was having with the rest of my internal LAN so that 
any node in my network can talk to the rest of the world once the ppp 
link is established.  Thanks to all who helped me with that.  I have even 
got demand dialling working now so that any machine in the network will 
cause the link to go up.  

my only problem now is that I need the link to go down and the modem to 
disconnect after a period of inactivity on the link.  I have put in a 
timeout value of 120 in the ppp.conf file but the connection doesn't die.

Even if I connect manually with the same timeout value set the link won't 
disconnect after even 5 minutes idle time.

Once again any help would be appreciated..

thanks
