It would be a shame if losing the ppp0 interface had killed all my
telnet sessions.
This does not happen in 2.1.x, and I _specifically_ fixed this
braindamage we had in 2.0.x's TCP output queueing framework.
(I am talking about the situation where you get the same address when
your ppp interface comes back up, the rest of the discussion is about
handling specific situations where you get a different IP address).
For example try the following test on 2.0.x then on latest 2.1.x
bash# ftp foo
...
ftp> put big_fat_file
^Z
bash# ifconfig eth0 down
bash# ifconfig eth0 up
bash# fg
...
See which one survives the ftp transfer.
