Any quick way to kill people who establish a slip session, and then not 
do anything.  The only way I can tell that tehir idling is that when I 
type netstat -i, and number of in packets, and number of outpackets don't 
change for a while.  So is there a way to see the traffic throught the 
slip port, and kill the session if there isn't any for a specified amount 
of time?!?

Thanks in advance.
