I understand (my reply wasn't exactly polite either). I figured that
was what you meant. Hey, I got it confused when we switched all of our
continuous ISDN customers from Ascend MAX 1800s (and profiles in the
box) to PM3s (conf in RADIUS). I had them all setup with a
Session-Limit = 0 instead of Session-Timeout = 0 and couldn't figure out
why none of them could even connect (I wish RADIUS logged this kind of
stuff better or am I just not sysloging the right stuff?).
> The Session-Timeout *does* work on analog calls, however.
Yes it does. It works great! We have some line campers that we have
told they don't have a continuous connection (we have it in our terms)
and they would stay on until I kicked them off manually unless we had
Session-Timeout. We set ours to 10 hours (our terms say please don't
stay connected for more than 3 hours during peak periods, so 10 seems
good to me).
What do other people that use the Session-Timeout set it to?
It also makes it handy to find the line campers. Just look through the
log for Session-Timeout disconnect reason. We had one guy that had an
ISDN line at his house. I notcied that he had been connected
continuously (except for the minute or two it took his end to realize it
was disconnected and redial) for a week. We couldn't contact him so we
locked his account. Turned out he was out of town for a week or two and
had left his computer on with Windows checking his mail every minute!
We let him know that was waaaay beyond acceptable use.
