We get the same thing here: Red Hat 6.0, 2.2.12 kernel with masquerading,
diald-0.99-1 rpm, ISDN Terminal Adapter.
A PPP interface seems to get left on some occaisions when a call goes
through but the PPP link does not establish. The connect time out triggers
and diald redials.
We don't know why the PPP preamble doesn't complete, we put it down to a
problem with our TA or ISP.
To get rid of the ppp* interfaces, we periodically do:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do ifconfig ppp$i down; done
Do this when the link is down!!
