As the subject says, I have this strange problem... reported by kimon.

My isdn.conf looks like this:

[ISDNCTRL]
INTERFACES = {
[INTERFACE]
NAME = ippp0
SECURE = on
DIALMAX = 3
HUPTIMEOUT = 10
IHUP = off
CHARGEHUP = off
CHARGEINT = 30
L2_PROT = hdlc
L3_PROT = trans
ENCAP = syncppp
SDELAY = 2
TRIGGER = 6000
PPPBIND = 0
}

Any ideas?

Sam

If you are not wanting to do 'dial-on-demand' then make sure that
'dialmode' is set to manual - 'isdnctrl dialmode ippp0 manual'. Add
DIALMODE = manual to your
isdn.conf file should do it.

If you do wish to do 'dial-on-demand' then something like a mail client
is looking for new mail every minute. You do not say anything about your
system to make a better guess.

Hope that helps,

Perhaps HUPTIMEOUT is very small. For 5 minutes of inactivity in the line,
put 300
(it means 300 seconds)

Probably your problem doesn't depend on your ipppd settings (or just
indirectly).
I suppose, you've a dial-on-dimand network with dialmode set on auto. If
that is true the ipppd daemon will raise a connection every time there
is an ip packet sent through your ipppX device. So check your routing
table! Probably you'll find your default gateway set to ipppX. If your
run some daemons like routed there will be network traffic every minute
- redirected to your default gateway this will cause an dial-up.
There are some ways for solution: Rearrange your routing, delete your
default gateway. Or set the dialmode of your ipppX on manual (insert the
line "DIALMODE = manual" in your ISDNCTRL file), you'll have to connect
manually with isdnctrl dial ipppX then. Or reconfigurate your daemons
causing periodical network traffic.

Greetings,
Andreas

This sounds like a solution! (I do have dial on demand, and I do have
routed, and I do have a default route device ippp0).

Will try!

Many thanks,
Sam
