Hello.
I'd like to have ppp work in auto mode; however I'd like to control exactly when it should
dial-up or hang, so I put the following in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
set filter dial 0 permit udp dst eq 8081
set filter alive 0 permit udp dst eq 8081
set filter out 0 deny udp dst eq 8081
set filter out 1 permit 0 0
set timeout 30
set mode auto
Then I wrote a small program that sends every 10 seconds an UDP packet to port 8081 to an
host outside my network.
When I start up this program ppp dials (as I expect), however blocking the packet with the
"out" filter prevents it from keeping the connection alive.
Is there a way to correct whis?
Bye & Thanks
av.
