Hi,

I need a mechanism to check a pppoe-connection for availability. Of course
I could do it manually and send a ping every minute, but this could be
done by user-ppp itself I think.

"man 8 pppd" shows some options: lcp-echo-interval, lcp-echo-failure
These are exactly what I need.....

My question: Is this functionality of pppd(8) available in ppp(8), too?


Thanks,
	Anton
