A little while ago, I was running pppd 2.3b3 (dialout) and got this error
message when the connection was interrupted by call waiting. In the past
I've frequently had lockups, with nothing logged, when a PPP connection
was lost. I've had the problem with different modems, different kernels,
PPP as a module and not (right now it isn't), and with pppd 2.2.0f
(haven't tried 2.2.0g yet). Right now I'm using an internal v.34 modem
with a Rockwell chipset.
