Well, I can think of two things: 1) They need to telnet into PPP (I think on port 3001, the admin port) and run 'quit all' to kill it properly. 2) The csh is sticking around because PPP isn't quitting and thus allowing the system to reap the process. You may be interested in 'slirp' which does exactly this, but I think it does a SLIP session instead of PPP. > It appears to be something wrong in my getty settings, or maybe in > rc.serial.
