Good point.  I didn't think of that, becuase I don't do anything with my
modem except for PPP.

You should actually give it two minutes if you want to be technically
correct -- I'm pretty sure the NDS server times out after two minutes.
 
I plan on finishing up a TACACS-checking process either today or
tomorrow.  Once that's done, we'll keep logs of response times from the
NDS servers, and set alarms for when the NDS servers don't respond quickly
enough.
