You're still in my in tray :-)
I take it you had no luck with the latest version.... The bit I
don't understand is that you said ppp wasn't disassociating from
the terminal.....
Can you post (or send me) your config files... maybe you have
something that's hanging in the default: entry - perhaps a "dial"
command.....?
