I have been experiencing an odd problem with ppp on my machine. I have an attack dialer set up, and for the most part it works. Every now and then however, I forget to turn it off, and it rediales for days. After many hours or days, connections start to fail every time, the modem ringing then making it's customary screeching noises, then going beep-Beep-BOOP in deceending tones until timeout. The strange thing is that this keeps happening even after I kill pppd and chat. I assumed this was some defensive measure of my ISP, but one day I called them to beg for mercy and they promised they knew nothing about it. They told me to reboot my machine, and I kept from laughing, barely. But it turned out they were right, reboot and the problem goes away. I don't know if this is a bug lurking in the kernel or if there is a daemon I don't know about gone wrong somewhere or what. If anyone has any ideas or can reccomend something to do to get more information I would love to hear about it.
