I'm using 2.1 with user PPP.  The connection works just fine except for 
one thing.  When I use ppp -auto my connection is established when I 
start typing at the keyboard and never disconnects.  I have the timeout 
set to 180 or 120 secs, neither matters, the same thing happens.  Is 
there something I'm missing wit dial on demand?  Any help is greatly 
appreciated.
