I can't keep it from timing out!! Supposedly, using the 'set timeout 0' command should prevent iijppp from breaking the link, no matter how much idle time you have. This doesn't seem to be the case, however. I'm quite sure it's iijppp's fault, and not on the server end, because I can use any of 5 or so Windoze 3.1x PPP clients, dialing into the same server, and they never timeout & disconnect. I believe the version of ppp I'm using is 0.94. Is this a known problem that may have been addressed in subsequent releases? thanks, Jonathan
