Efficient Networks® Router family	Chapter 6: Remote Commands
Command Line Interface Guide

remote setminline

This command is used for dial-up connections and other connections that behave like dial-up connections, such as L2TP and PPPoE sessions. The command sets the minimum number of channels to be continually allocated to the connection. The default is 0, in which case a channel is allocated only when needed.

For example, if your service provider charges by the hour, you might prefer the minlines default value (0) so that a channel is allocated only when needed. However, if you are not charged by the hour, then having a channel allocated continually would save you the 2-3 second wait time required for each channel re-allocation.
