Sounds very reasonable. Have you had a look at kernel pppd/if_ppp? I'd really like to get idle-timeout going there. Some of the code is there, wrapped around #if _linux_ in pppd, but availabe in sys/net/if_ppp.c. It looks like someone implemented the last-packet deltas in the kernel, but did not finish making it work in the daemon. Does anyone have any ideas here? Danny
