I suspect the real solution, then, will be to file ijppp. The problem is that when I start up "ppp -auto", it will almost always come up with the same PID as the one from the previous boot, so if the lock file stuck around it will mostlikely have the *same* PID in there, and will then quietly loop until the lock file goes away! This problem happens to me a lot because ijppp frequently terminates, and if I restart ppp the machine will reboot the instant "something" happens on the link. Perhaps it's a nameserver call, perhaps it's simply an IP packet that wants to be handled by the PPP link - I can't tell; no panic is generated so I don't get a core file. H
