I think diald does this with UDP packets - with TCP packets there are other rather annoying issues/problems. However, the kernel's ipmasq routines do it, so you'd think there'd be a way. > 2) how to increase the time limit in the standard filter (I'd like to use > standard.filter over my very primitive one) on the FIRST packet sent out by > a program (like telnet, rlogin, etc.) Well, not quite that, but what I added after a somewhat similar problem to my /etc/diald/diald.options is: impulse 30,0,0 This causes the link to always be kept up for at least 30 seconds.
