You really need to investigate this, as I suggested earlier. ISPs really don't want dial-up users to be connected very long. They want them to get in, read their e-mail, and get out, especially if they are paying a flat fee for unlimited access. In the "old days" before TCP/IP, i.e. traditional async dial-up access to an on-line service provider, such as AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, etc., they would just hang up on you after so long. Now they have a sneakier way of doing it. They give you a short DHCP lease and no renewals. DHCP lease time varies from ISP to ISP. Generally, the less you pay per month, the shorter the DHCP lease time. They force *you* to hang up on *them*. -- .''`.

Dial on demand makes this fairly easy to deal with. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
