You can't deny it - sending the reply is mandatory (well, nearly -
from memory, ppp *MAY* decide not to send the packet, but if it gets
a repeat REQ, it *MUST* reply).
This should *not* refresh the idle timer though. Does ``show b'' say
otherwise (with ``set log +hdlc lcp phase'' showing if traffic is
arriving) ?
