I take it you mean that you added iface clear to the ppp.linkdown?
I
thought I was supposed to add it to ppp.conf.

I'm also trying to figure out the best way to kill ppp and restart
the
connection clean without having to reboot the machine.  Any ideas
there?

Thanks a lot for the reply.
Lou
**********************************
ppp.linkdown is an older way of doing the same thing as putting it
in the ppp.conf
both ways work

Killall ppp             will stop user ppp
ppp -direct incoming -nat
incoming is the section name in your ppp.conf where your account id
and password is coded.
-nat   turns on Network Address Translation
