This is what I've been having problems with. I've tried setting the
timeout value to 120 (what I want), and when that didn't work I tried
20, which didn't work either. I'm running 2.1.5-RELEASE. Here's my
ppp.conf file:
default:
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 57600
disable lqr
deny lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0
OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
pcn:
set timeout 3600
set phone 0000000
set login "TIMEOUT 5 :--: ppp name: ajk word: XXXXXXX"
set ifaddr 0 128.210.67.9
add 0 255.255.255.0 128.210.67.9
