I maintain three FreeBSD boxes from 4.11 to 6.1-RELEASE and 6-STABLE. They have been showing this for at least 1 or 2 years. So it is/was also present in the 5.x line. I usually work around this by having a cron job that restarts ppp every day at 04:00 or somewhere around that. So either I'm just unlucky or I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. Could someone paste me the snippet from ppp.log of a successful 24h disconnect + redial? Thanks.
