Or just add the 'persist' option so that pppd dials up again whenever it gets disconnected.But then my Gnutella downloads are interrupted overnight etc... I know that the persist option works perfectly for reconnecting but it does not keep the connection alive. SvenAs far as I know there is no way to do this if it is a "feature" of your ISP - it is of mine. I'm prepared to live with it, if it makes it easier to connect when I dial up. AC
Back when I was using PPP, I had the same problem. My kids showed me that by running an IRC client connected to a channel, the ISP-induced disconnects would not happen. In my case I would be browsing or doing a FTP download when it would happen. Dunno just why it worked, but it did.
