pppd: Terminating connection due to lack of activity.

[Aleksander Morgado <aleksander aleksander es>]

Hey hey,

Is there any good reason why when launching pppd, for e.g. a mobile
connection, we don't use "idle 0" by default? Otherwise pppd will
suicide after 10 mins (default) of inactivity in the channel:

Apr 01 01:22:38 pppd[23180]: Terminating connection due to lack of activity.
Apr 01 01:22:38 pppd[23180]: Connect time 10.1 minutes.
Apr 01 01:22:38 pppd[23180]: Sent 0 bytes, received 84 bytes.

... even if those 84 bytes are actually some activity...


Cheers!
