I am getting into confusion world what you want do ;-) What do you mean "start on demand, and not hungup if in use" and "active connection"? If you mean "Just dial and make a connection whenever packet sending to peer and then never disconnect unless you did disconnect manually", the only way is using -auto(dial on demand) with "set timeout 0 0". In general case, they prefer to disconnect peer by any/paticular packet is NOT sending/receiving to peer period time with setting up various function filters.. > -- > Virtually, > Edward Wolpert Atsushi. -- Atsushi Murai Internet: amurai@spec.co.jp System Planning and Engineering Co,.Ltd.
