Message-ID: <DIHBH2.GsB@fourthgen.fourthgen.com> Date: Thu, 23 Nov 1995 04:36:38 GMT Lines: 12 I'm running a small server using FreeBSD 2.0. When users connect with SLIP, some have tendency to camp on the phone line, either forgetting they dialed in or just hanging out. There seems to be just enough activity so the modems won't hang up based on the idle timer in them. Is there a way in the system to disconnect these users?
