Tnank you all , but both diald and ppp-off are yesterday paper.
I looked in the request-connect script, the new pppd has a new command
(as much as I know) not found in the man or the README its :
idle-disconnect , I think it's in seconds, it had 600 next to it when I
run into it in the script.
So, I can login automatic with the help of kerneld, wich take care to
load the ppp module and to make it dial to the right place.
and the idel-disconnect in the pppd that do the ppp-off for me , after a
big d/l
when I am in bed ( Michael)
