Help: ttyS1 dead after ppp line drops

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

If my ppp connection drops (due to phone line disconnect) I cannot
anymore
use /dev/ttyS1 (e.g. for reconnecting ppp).

Any attempt to touch the device will hand, like
        stty -a </dev/ttsY1
never starts (ps shows bash still owns the process).

If I shut down ppp properly then I have no problem reusing the device.
