First off, I'm no longer using ijppp in "auto" mode as it has this tendency to want to dial and leave the link logged in for hours at a time, even with no traffic. Since phone calls cost money here, I use it by simply doing a `ppp <myprovider>' and then typing "dial" and "close" when I want to connect and disconnect, respectively. My question is what I always see when I do the close, namely: PPP ON whisker> close write: No such process write: No such process write: No such process <repeats anywhere from 3 to 6 times> It doesn't seem to be any kind of fatal error, and the line is definitely closed properly so I'm not really _complaining_, I'm just curious. Any of the ijppp hackers out there care to comment? Oh, and on the subject of ppp dialing up and staying up for hours, yes I've set a timeout and yes I've put in a filter for dialing that blocks pings and yes I've set `hosts' before `bind' in my /etc/host.conf so that simple DNS queries don't trigger it. And it still does it.. :-) Neither of these things are show-stoppers, and I still love ij-ppp. It's great! I'd just like to make it a little better, perhaps.. :) Jordan
