Well, the important is that it is tested and even more important is that it works very well. ]:) With this on /etc/isdnd/isdnd.rc : idletime-outgoing = 150 ratetype = 0 unitlength = 0 unitlengthsrc = conf It disconnected successfully after 150 precise seconds. I checked with tcpdump and with bytes in/out counters on the isdnd, that the isp was sending the LCP packets every 5 seconds, so I seems that your patch is ok. Nevertheless I would like to ask you guys that understand so much about these isdn matters, why are these isp's sending these lcp packets so often. In my country, Portugal, the isp's and the telecom (only one!) have big profits because of this kind of abuse. Althought we have authorities that can take care of these matters, if you know how to present a complain, so if could help find technical reasons, for the isp or telecom, have this kind of policy, please do.
