First you need to decide when it is "no longer needed". If you're using the userland PPP there are all kinds of timers and filters available to help control the connection. Take a look at the following resources for additional help: * http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/index.html * http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/x870.html * http://www.freebsddiary.org/pppfilters.html And as always you should make sure to read and re-read the ppp man page.
