Interesting. But, what exactly is the prabobalitity of that? I will have
think about this one.

Nope. Nope. Nope. I have look through the entire /usr/share/doc tree and
didn't find anything about ppp not hanging up modems, etc.. Someone
please put this in the FAQ. I have read usenet posts about this one.
Other people are going through the hell I did. I don't like spending
hours debuging code only to discover the code is fine and my modem is
misconfigured (sure I should have thought of it first).
