This is probably because the last expect string in your dial chat is 
CONNECT, and that's what it finds - so the script's complete.

You could upgrade to the latest ppp and do a ``set cd 1!'' to make 
ppp require carrier.  An immediate disconnect should then be detected 
rather than ppp assuming that the device doesn't do CD.

Well, ppp.log has to already exist.  Also, make sure that there are 
no spaces in syslog.conf - syslogd will ignore theline otherwise.
