Well, here I am with good/bad news. My ISP was having some serious problems
this evening, so, pppd was redialing once a minute (per a cron job) didn't
crash through about 30 dials, but then after the Nth one, I crashed, so it does
seem to be related. This is with my upgraded(downgraded) sio.c, has anyone else
had a chance to replace theirs? I can supply a simple patch if someone doesn't
want to go back and find it or something.
