Hi Do You mean, that even if you have line-activity, it will disconnect? If line-activity keeps the connection live, then do a cron-job for example every 30 minutes, that does a "ping -c5 <some-host>", and it would keep the connection alive. Or better yet, make You e-mail client to poll the mail-host every minute, like I have. Our provider disconnects every 72 hours from connection, if no activity has seen in the last 12 hours or so... I'm not sure about the time-out value. Now it is on all the time, because our mail-clients polls mail-host every minute. Jaska.
I get disconnected by my ISP after 36 hours. Setup is SuSE 8.1, Adsl through Speedtouch usb, Kinternet, Dial on demand, auto reconnect. FX
