	That's not true, it just accept whatever incomming connection
arive. Anyway, to recreate the connection, both side would need to do
it.

	You may want to look into the "idle 10" parameter of pppd in
the irnetd source code.

	You log are totally uninteresting, because I would need the
PPP logs of the whole session and an irdadump of the same session.
	Anyway, you may want to check that :
--------------------------
          inet addr:10.0.0.2  P-t-P:10.0.0.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
--------------------------
	That's not going to work !

	I do it all the time, and other people as well. You can make
you own conclusions.
