That is one of the really nice features of MorningStar PPP, that you
can select which types of packets to ignore in idle-time or bringup
determinations. bringup probably isn't too interesting to a
terminal server, *unless* you use dynamic outgoing dials.
BTW, timeout filters are in SGI's PPP, too. By default, the list
includes (copied from the man page): ports 13 (daytime), 37 (time),
123 (ntp), 520 (route), and 525 (timed). Just an example of what I
think would be a good starting point for Livingston to add...
