Type the number of seconds of idle time (time when no data is sent over the network
connection) after which the dial-up connection to the Internet is dropped. The default is
180 (three minutes). I changed it to 600 (10 minutes).
Enter number of seconds for idle disconnect [180]: 600
9. To connect to the Internet with a particular IP address (assigned from the ISP), type y and
then add the IP address as requested. In most cases, however, you just have the ISP assign
an IP address by typing n here.

Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Part III
Did your ISP assign you a static IP ADDRESS? [y/n]: n
Setting up for dynamic PPP Address
Set the local PPP interface IP address. Should not be the
same as 192.168.0.1, but on the same subnet.
10. You need an initial IP address to start the PPP interface. As noted, you should use an IP
address that is on the same network as your LAN.
Press enter for [192.168.0.3]: 192.168.0.3
11. The next several questions relate to setting up your dial-out connection. The tty device is
the serial port where your modem is connected (ttyS0 for COM1, ttyS1 for COM2, and
so forth). The port speed refers to how fast your computer can talk to the modem (the
default, 115200, is fine). ATZ is the normal script for initializing a modem (check your
modem manual if you need something else).
