Hmm, I've never seen a report where ppp says ``Disconnected'' and
doesn't go away ! In phase.c, the above "NewPhase: Dead" means exit
in -direct mode. Isn't there a "PPP Terminated" message ?

You must use ``sh'' if you want to do redirections on the command
line, otherwise you must do them inside your program/script. So, in
the ppp configuration file
!bg sh -c "mycommand >myoutput 2>&1"
works as does
!bg mycommand
if ``mycommand'' contains
#! /bin/sh
exec >myoutput 2>&1
