Using the RH netcfg, go to your PPP interface and hit the edit button.
The first window has a "PPP options" section at the bottom. Add this:
lcp-echo-interval 60 lcp-echo-failure 5
I think this is mentioned in the PPP-HOWTO. Maybe it will help, since
it keeps some communication gwine on between you and the dial-in
server. And it is not as greedy, bit-wise, as a ping, I don't think.
By the way, this is just like a bunch of command line options for ppp.
I'm sure you can figure out how to do it with ezppp, if you'd rather
use that than netcfg.
