Sorry, but I am running ppp program (iijppp not pppd) and I tried to do

ps ax|grep ppp|grep -v grep

and no such process, but still I can not reconnect...

This is happened only some provider, there is a provider that I rarely have
this thing happened. I thing there is a different how they configure ppp, I don't know
what it is. I hope you can tell me...
