In my experience kinternet just plain sux. Back when I was using a modem I had the same issues with kinternet detecting idle time and disconnecting. This is a design 'feature' which is probably good if you suffer with timed local calls.I never did get it to work properly and used wvdial instead which is quite easy to setup. just set timeout to 0 in the config file.
Yes, kinternet sucks, but cinternet can be cron'd to run as needed to reestablish connections. But your idea to set time out to 0 is not the problem I was mentioning. Timeout 0 ONLY prevents disconnects caused by your machine. Many adsl providers disconnect you from their end when there is no activity on the link. Nothing you can do about this other than to make sure there IS SOME activity every X minutes to prevent their watchdog from cutting you off. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
