Sure, that will cause the line to not hang up, but then pppd does the
same thing. It would be nice to have it start on demand, and not
hangup if in use.
I short fix I gues is to set the timeout to 300 (5 mins) and write a
shell script to do a netstat every 4 mins. If netstat returns a non-
local connection, ping some random remote hosts (ping -c 1
random.host). That 'would' work too, but not an optimal solution.
