I'm trying to use pppd instead of diald for dial-on-demand
functionality.
I've got the dialing and connecting part working. However, pppd seems
to ignore the "idle x" option I'm specifying in /etc/ppp/options. In
fact, I even specified the timeout period on the commandline:
pppd idle 45 call provider
According to the docs, this should cause pppd to timeout and hangup
after 45 seconds. However, it never hangs up.
I even did a "tcpdump -i ppp0" and waited for well over 45 seconds, no
traffic was shown.
I also tried using "idle 2" and pppd STILL doesn't hangup.
If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks,
Matt
