I whined:

Got it: from /etc/ppp/options:
netmask 255.255.255.240 # subnet mask for our system
#-detach # don't detach
crtscts # enable hardware flow control
#passive # establish passive link (wait for LCP)
modem # use modem line control
proxyarp # insert an ARP entry for the host
lcp-echo-interval 30 # send an echo packet every 30 seconds
lcp-echo-failure 10 # die after n failed lcp echo requests
debug
and from my ~/.ppprc file where the dialup logs in:
198.116.75.19:198.116.75.33
If the modem(s) hangup, pppd stays on the line and getty can't run. I
can dial back in but instead of getty, I get a dangling pppd.

I didn't way back in a 1.X release or something... maybe early
2.0-alpha? I was brand new to FreeBSD then...
Thanks.
