I have the following problem: when I try to shut down the ppp link via 'kill -TERM pppd_pid' pppd shuts down the ppp0 interface, but does not hang-up my modem (if I pick up the phone, I hear wisteling). I tried various options (crtscts, xonxoff and a disconnect script with a +++ and ATH command) and nothing worked. I also found no info on shuting down a ppp connection, only various ways to start it up. Can someone help me here, or at least point me to some info? BTW, is there a way to know the DNS addresses advertised by my ISP when using pppd? I only found info for it on ppp not pppd. Thanx, Alex.
