[Herefordshire] How do I specify a auto - timeout for a modemconnection?

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,

I have had real issues with this myself here because after say 15
minutes of inactivity, such a thing does not exist with background
Internet traffic.  The best I got it to was around 1 minute on a dialup
connection of inactivity, which of course was too quick.  Unfortunately
I haven't messed with diald options and have only used Smoothwall to do
this, and as I use an ISDN connection now through a router have
forgotten exactly where in the interface I went to get it working.

Thanks.
Andrew.
