>Description:
When trying to dial into ISP using PPP or PPPD in either FreeBSD version
2.2.2 or 2.1.7, I am unable to stay connected past when I exit the shell
(csh).  Once the shell exits, the modem disconnects.  I have tried the
AT&D0 command, to no avail.  I do no have this problem in Free BSD version
2.1.5 with the exact same system.  I was running this system on 2.1.5
until I decided to upgrade to 2.2.2.  When 2.2.2 gave me these problems,
I tried 2.1.7 and 2.1.7.1.

I did notice that there are differences with the pppd source code, in
particular that the newer source code uses the "daemon" function to
deattach from the terminal, whereas the old "main.c" uses "fork".

I have a USR 33.6 internal modem on /dev/cuaa1
>How-To-Repeat:
Just try connecting with PPP, PPPD, or SLATTACH!
>Fix:
Move back to 2.1.5.  After doing this, I upgraded the KERNEL only (using
CVSUP) to 2.1.7 and there was still no problem.  I needed the built-in
vx0 suppport in 2.1.7.
