connect to your ISP when a connection is needed, and
to disconnect when the line to your ISP has been idle for
a given amount of time. Connection and disconnection
are automatic. You can also adjust the maximum idle
time; the default setting is 20 minutes. The alternative to
Connect on Demand is Keep Alive (see next). In most
cases you can choose either option without consulting
your ISP.

connnection to your ISP all the time. If the link goes
down for a given number of seconds (the “redial
period”), the gateway will automatically try to re-
establish it. The default redial period is 20 seconds.
