Some users dialup onto the machine and hang on for hours doing nothing. I tried to disconnect the hookup using the kill command but failed. The idle dialup user still occupys the line with an exiting status, but the exiting process seems never finish. Anyone can give any advice? Thanks. -ping ping@cubmol.bio.columbia.edu

If you've a Telebit modem, register S41 can be set in tenths of hours, from 0 (disabled) to 255. When the timer expires, the modem hangs up the line. -- _ Kevin D.
