It seems to be ignored : |otherwise. : : No. Set the timeout *after* dialing in the ip-up script or as the last : timeout in the dialing chat. Set it to something large. If you set it : before dialing, and you use a timeout in the dial chat, the dialing timeout : will override the initial timeout. The matter must be more complicated. I set my timeout to zero before dialing and I specify a timeout in my dialing chat script and I do not have a timeout problem (my idle PPP sessions stay up indefinitely). I can think of no reason, other than an outright program bug, why specifying a timeout inside a chat script would change the PPP idle timeout value. Dan Strick dan@math.berkeley.edu
