Hi,
   Does anyone has any idea why my ppp losts connection 3 minutes
after the connection established? Before I used the same setup to
connect to school and it didn't have this problem. Now I connect to
Pacific Bell and my company, and it is "always" automatically
disconnected after 3 minutes no matter what I was doing through the
connection. Is there any option I should enable or disable to keep
the connection alive? Thanks.

PS. I have read the FAQ and Handbook, and didn't find similar question
and answer.
