Hi,

When using ppp in -auto mode the socket receives the request (for
example from Netscape) and dials out OK.

When closing Netscape the connection to the ISP remains open until the
timeout interval is reached. Has anyone discovered an automatic way to
force a disconnection as soon as an application closes without having to
issue command line prompts to ppp? I don't wan't to reduce the timeout
below the current 5 minutes otherwise I get disconnected in the middle
of browsing.

Thanks

Richard Morte
