- When I leave my machine overnight and come back in the morning I
- find my slip connection has died on me. Does it timeout on inactivity
- in the belief that it's saving dialup line money (I have a fixed
- link)? There is no mention of such behaviour in my docs. Can I
- disable this "feature" or do I have to get my machine to run ping
- over the connection at regular intervals or is it something completely
- different?
-
- Thanks for your time, yours,
-
-
- George.
