Subject: Difficulties with PPP (FreeBSD 2.0.5)

I am trying to configure a FreeBSD 2.0.5 machine as an Internet server, 
and I am having a few problems with PPP.

I'm using pppd rather than iijppp.  My first question is... Which ppp are 
others using?  (You may want to respond to me directly at rene@igs.net.)

The main problem I am having is that pppd does not exit when the line is 
dropped.  I have tried two different brands of modems (14.4 and 28.8), 
the regular getty and mgetty, our Cyclades board and the standard serial 
port; nothing seems to make any difference.

I have &C1 (detect carrier) set in the modem, and I am using the 
proxyarp, modem, -detach, and crtscts options.

Thank you for any help provided.
