Just curious, does this set ppp keepalives or
something else? Typically what ISP do is they disable
ppp keepalives on their side and set idle timeout to 5
minutes (I guess that's default value on most of the
gears) and if they don't see ppp keepalives from
customer they disconnect the link regardless what your
modem setting are.

I thought it had to do with wvdial.conf. So, I changed the Idle Seconds parameter to 0 to prevent a disconnect. Unfortunately, the disconnect still occurs. I am using KPPP to make

I would have suspected it is a setting used on the
server you are
calling. I doubt it is kppp, but you could check its specific config differences in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp. I haven't installed 8.2 yet (it's here but will have to wait til the weekend ;-) ), but I doubt it does anything that would cause your problem. Also check /etc/ppp/options.

Rick, Check your modem configuration in YaST2 again and I think you will find the time setting set to 300 (5 minutes) by default. If you change that to Zero (0), your disconnect should only happen when you tell it too!
