There are several possibilities why the connection is not closed. You should examine the logfiles to find out what is going on. In case the e-smith server or workstations on the LAN are not responsible for keeping the connection open by generating datatraffic to or from Internet, you can try to use the following feature of the AsusCom TA to have a work-around (copied from the manual):
ATS30
Disconnect the connection automatically if there is no data
transmission in n*10 seconds (n=0 to 255, default S30=0, it
will not disconnect the connection)
So, by connecting your TA to the serial port of a PC and using a program like Hyperterminal, you can set the idle connection time to 5 minutes with the command 'ATS30=30'. Don't forget to save this new configuration with 'AT&W'!Jean-Francois Zahnen wrote:
