Looks like the ISP is sending keepalive packets from his end and I have requested that this is disabled. If I connected to another ISP the idle timeout works fine. The problem with the idle timeout for me at the moment is that iij-ppp on my side detects the inactivity locally and brings down the local side of the link (effectively stopping communication with the rest of the world) but doesn't hang up the modem. This means that the modem has to be manually disconnected before the auto dialup works again. Is it possible to force the modem to disconnect after local inactivity when in auto mode ?
