Hi William, if the modem is disconnected then the kernel module rejects all packets sent to it for transmission. You would think that pppd would understand from this that the connection has gone down! I could change the module so that it forcibly closes the connection when the modem is removed. I didn't do it originally because it seemed like a hack, but maybe it is the right thing to do after all. All the best, Duncan. PS: Try using the pppd lcp-echo-failure option.
