I have a problem with PPPD
When im using my FreeBSD Box at work for internet dial-up access my
messages logfiles are
reporting errors when disconnecting, these messages are sometimes being
echoed to the console to.

Here are a section from my messages log file.

Jul 15 21:27:24 ns pppd[1209]: pppd 2.2.0 started by xxxx, uid 1000
Jul 15 21:27:24 ns pppd[1209]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd0

Inappropriate i
octl for device
Jul 15 21:33:00 ns pppd[1209]: tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

the ioctl seems to be a system call of some kind but what does
PPPIOCGFLAGS, PPPIOCSASYNCMAP and TIOCSETD mean ?.

One more thing regarding pppd, is it possible to configure pppd or ppp
with FreeBSD so it accepts callback requests like Windows NT 4.0 does ?,
eg you may supply a phonenumber for it to dial-back to ?. 

Could some one give me a hint or even the whole answer to this
question(s) ?
