TOPIC

When I sign onto the Internet using Open Transport PPP 1.0 (OT/PPP), I notice that it shows a time remaining. What is this referring to? Is this somehow tapping into the server that I am connected to?

DISCUSSION

A PPP server can use a "time remaining" feature to notify a dial-in client how much time remains in the current session. The implementation of this feature (as defined in RFC 1570) is optional and may not be in use by a server you are connected to. The Famous Apple!
