[LUG] ppp dial on demand & timouts

[andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

here's today's challenge (got squid working by the way, thanks) ....

I use ppp and a chat script to connect my dialup modem to the internet
I've got it set up to dial on demand ....

... I open my browser ....
... my modem dials and chat starts to log in ....
... my browser times out ....
... chat finishes logging in ....
... I have to restart my browser ....
... everything now works as normal.

is there any way to get ppp/chat to give dummy replies to keep everything that 
requests internet pages happy and stop them timing out

cheers

Andy Weir
