Thanks Joe,
We considered that possibility as well, but don't think that is the case
here. The lady using it can telnet in for email and keep the
connection up while she is typing a mail, etc. Unless telnet
continually pings the server, where kppp does not, then that would lead
me to believe the server is not dropping the connection.
