I don't think the LCP layer of PPP has this info. The Radius does for
sure but these are not PPP things. Idle time and max session length are
not, as far as I know anything in LCP or PPP.

That aside. My program uses pmcom to 'res PORT' on the device that the
user is doing the violation. This has NOTHING to do with the portmaster
timers. I set them all to umlimited and use PORTMAN to watch the ports
and times and that is configured by pool load so it is active. I don NOT
change the Idle time on the ports or max session length on the ports. I
hang the user up when, and only when, they match the condition in the
config file for PortMan.

This workd great for badgering multiple login users. :-)
