1. PPP won't kill connection

Here's a strange one: Just recently, I am unable to disconnect my PPP
connection to my Internet Service Provider by killing the pppd process
on my computer. I can kill the pppd process, but the modem won't
disconnect. I can reboot the computer, and the modem still won't release
the conneciton.

I'm using PPP2.2.0f,& Kernel 2.0, both of which I just reinstalled after
this problem started happening. I use the following scripts to start and
stop my connection:

my login script:

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cua1 38400 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f \
/home/chat.script'

chat.script:

""atm0 "" atdt14084933495 ogin: mylogin word: mypassword

and to kill the connection I use this script:

#!/bin/sh

DEVICE=ppp0
#
# If the ppp0 pid file is present then the program is running. Stop it.
if [ -r /var/run/$DEVICE.pid ]; then
    kill -INT `cat /var/run/$DEVICE.pid`
        #
        # If unsuccessful, ensure that the pid file is removed.
        #
    if [ ! "$?" = "0" ]; then
       echo "removing stale $DEVICE pid file."
       rm -f /var/run/$DEVICE.pid
          exit 1
    fi
        #
        # Success. Terminate with proper status.
        #
    echo "$DEVICE link terminated"
        exit 0                                                          
fi
#
# The link is not active
#
echo "$DEVICE link is not active"
exit 1

This has always worked for me until the other day (strangely right after
I upgraded my system from 16 -> 32 MB of RAM. As a side effect, the CD
light on my modem stays on all the time now, even when I'm not connected.

If anyone is still reading at this point, and has any ideas, please either

Thanks.
