Hello all,
I am using pppd (kernel PPP) version 2.2 patch level 0beta3 with FreeBSD
2.2.2. As you may know, there is no idle timeout in this version of pppd.
In the source code (/usr/src/usr.sbin/pppd/options.c, line 265), it shows
that the option "idle-disconnect" is enabled only on Linux systems:
#ifdef _linux_
{"idle-disconnect", 1, setidle}, /* seconds for disconnect of idle IP */
#endif
Does anyone know why this is the case? Is there any replacement code that
I could use?
I am hesitant to use iijppp because it is not as easily configurable.
With pppd, I can specify everything for each connection on the command
line.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

P.S. If you know for sure that it cannot be done, please let me know that
too.
