We have the same problem, except in our case it's not releasing the line so we can't establish a new connection. When my line drops I have to dial a terminal server, log in, telnet to the FreeBSD server, kill the PPP daemon (as noted, a new one gets created...), log out, then redial our server. My /etc/ppp/options file looks like: netmask 255.255.255.240 # subnet mask for our system -detach # don't detach crtscts # enable hardware flow control passive # establish passive link (wait for LCP) modem # use modem line control proxyarp # insert an ARP entry for the host lcp-echo-interval 30 # send an echo packet every 30 seconds lcp-echo-failure 10 # die after n failed lcp echo requests debug and the .ppprc file for the account looks like: 198.116.75.49:198.116.75.65 The username is configured as: xxxppp:*:32002:32000:Mike's PPP:/home/xxxppp:/usr/sbin/pppd so that pppd is launched as the account's shell as soon as the login occurs. What appears to happen is carrier drops, then pppd spawns a new version of itself which camps out forever on the line; thus getty never gets restarted so you can't log in again. This happened on 2.0R as well as 2.0.5R. It did *NOT* happen on Linux. I've posted a couple of requests to the list, but gotten no help (other than advice to switch to ijppp :-) Needless to say, this is exceedingly annoying... ;-( Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :-) Thanks, Mike On Sun, 6 Aug 1995, Duane R.
