do you have "delete ALL" in your /etc/ppp/ppp.{linkup,conf}
this seems to be an X killer.
every night i start ppp with "ppp -auto foobar". before sleep i
kill ppp with kill -9. X and my machine have been up for 10 days.
X never gets hammered.
the man page stinks to high heaven. someone needs to read the
code and write a new manpage detailing all the gotchas. a blank line in
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf serves as a null label <POW!>
