Is there any way to have ppp periodically ping the remote host and drop and reconnect if the ping fails? I'm on a system where the host will get "stupid" and although I can still hear modem noise, I can't see any network activity. ALSO: Is there some way of tracing what connection attempt is opening the connection in automatic mode (for example, stupid adware, or windows media player trying to see if there's a new version available)? And once I know, is the a way of blocking it? It seems JUST BOOTING win98 will cause a connection to be open.
