What are the specific advantages of using a kernel PPP over user PPP? I use the command ppp -ddial papchap. This, I am told, establishes a "stable" connection (i.e reconections are handled automatically). How do I hang up? Just switch the modem off? (of course I commented the line "set timeout 3000" in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.)
