Looks like a bigger task than it should be. Perhaps this should
be more configurable... or compilable with a #define, ISP -
"define -DISP if you're running the daemons on an ISP machine."
The effect is the machine runs out of ptys. I would want to
install that, but this is a client machine that runs remotely,
and I don't want to take chances unless I'm on-site.

Yes... is there any other way?
On another client box, a Linux machine that did the PPP by itself,
I made a script that kills all user processes when the user logs out.
Drastic... but stray user processes were screwing up the
accounting.
