	After a period of time where PPP works just fine, I find that it
"fizzles".  The config files (/etc/ppp/ppp.*) are all the same as they
were on my old system.  In fact, so is the modem.  But this problem didn't
exist on my old box.

	Also, on occasion the ppp program (with the -auto flag) will
terminate gracefully.  The logs even show that the program considers it a
graceful exit.  But it never did this on my old system either.

	I don't have any samples of the second problem, but here's some
data from the first:

	Any ideas?  This *might* be happening only when I've idled out of
my PPP connection.  My ISP has a 15 minute idle timer.  However, I just
keep thinking to myself that these problems didn't exist on my old
system...

					All advise is appreciated,
