>Description:
Using pppd for dial-on-demand over a dial-up ISDN line to our ISP. Whenever the line drops, pppd reports the connected duration in minutes using syslog(3), priority LOG_NOTICE. Unfortunately pppd calculates the duration from when pppd was started, not from when the line went up.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add the 'demand' keyword to the /etc/ppp/options file.
>Fix:

--- main.c Wed Jun 2 14:59:51 1999
