Subject:   PPP -direct TIMEOUT

This is driving me absolutely nuts. I have a dialin PPP account set up to 
execute a script that has "ppp -direct" in it. All users can get in and 
access the site with PPP just fine, but after 3 minutes (its default 
timeout) it drops them because of inactivity. I've verified that this is 
happening in /var/log/ppp.log.

My ppp.linkup file contains the following:

-----

#########################################################################
#
# If we've got 192.244.176.32 as our address, then regard peer as a gateway
# to 192.244.176.0 network.
#
#192.244.176.32:
# add 192.244.176.0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR
#
# If we are invked with an argument ``iij-demand'', then
# delete existing route entry and add peer as default gateway.
#
iij-demand:
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR
#
# Otherwide, simply add peer as default gateway.
#
timeout 3600

198.145.98.6:
 add 198.145.98.0 255.255.255.240 HISADDR

-----------

Shouldn't this set my timeout to 60 minutes? I've created a ppp.linkup 
file in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup and one in /usr/home/ppp/ppp/ppp.linkup per 
the man pages for PPP. This setting had absolutely no effect on operations.

If there aren't any obvious answers, where's the source for ppp so I can 
take out the bloody timeout function?

ANY Help would be appreciated... and my users would be MUCH more 
appreciative! Thanks!

-->Neil
