>Description:
When a remote ppp client disconnects, loss of carrier on the server's
modem does not terminate the ppp program (invoked as `ppp -direct').
The tun* device remains allocated and no further connections on that
port are possible.

Seems to be hung on select(2) in main.c line 886 ?
>How-To-Repeat:
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf on the server:
#
default:
 set authname dial
 set authkey xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 set timeout 3600
 enable pap
 disable chap

PPP login uses ppp -direct

We are using a 6-port Boca card with the following kernel configuration:

options "COM_MULTIPORT"
device sio4 at isa? port 0x220 tty flags 0x905
device sio5 at isa? port 0x228 tty flags 0x905
device sio6 at isa? port 0x240 tty flags 0x905
device sio7 at isa? port 0x248 tty flags 0x905
device sio8 at isa? port 0x260 tty flags 0x905
device sio9 at isa? port 0x268 tty flags 0x905 irq 5 vector siointr
>Fix:
Work-around:  Use the ppp binary from 2.1.7.1-RELEASE
