The port monitor used is the mgetty 1.0.0, to respond in AutoPPP mode to LCP config-requests. The clients connect succesfully, but the problems arise on the server when the client disconnects, or the modem line drops for whatever reason: The ppp process stays up and does not exit like below 434 d0- Ss 0:00.46 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct papttyd0 As a result, the tty lines is kept busy and none is able to connect any longer, until the ppp process is killed by hand on the server side. With the pppd implementation, I used to set the "modem" option, which makes use of the modem control lines. Does something similar exist for the iijppp, or what is the procedure to follow? I would like to use both the tun0,1 devices of my Pc. Thanks! - Marco
