Hi.

I've got iijppp up and running, but I can't seem to get the idle timeout 
to disappear.  I've entered 0 thinking that this would remove the 
timeout, but soon after there is no activity the modem hangs up.  Am I 
better off to make the timeout a very large number and just make a script 
to tickle the connection every once in a while?

Also, is there some english FAQ for iijppp hanging around somewhere?

TIA
