Well, bbppp execs a program to initialize the modem. After this program runs,
it should check to see if some ppp file exists, and if not either try again
or visually show the failure. On linux this can be achieved by looking for a
ppp pid file in /var/run I believe. I am unsure how the bsds handle ppp, I
only ever used them as servers.
