My ISP has obtained the wonderful new remote area GTE lines which also
support analog .. 

Unlike the days before we had the wonnerful new digital lines ..
Frequently .. the line goes down .. due to early shortage of IIJPPP 
.. I guess that is what I am running .. 

 % strings /usr/sbin/ppp ..

  "User Process PPP. Written by Toshiharu OHNO." .. 
  "@(#)uucplock.c  5.5 (Berkeley) 6/1/90"
  "Version 0.94"
  "/dev/cua01"

Documentation .. wound up with probably faking "carrier" after connected
and of course .. ppp fails to exit .. on its own .. when the line goes
down .. 

If only I could find a way to after killing /usr/sbin/ppp .. being able
to run a dialer / chat .. as I can in ppp> term .. to allow me to 
send "+++ <wait> ath0" and fully exit .. I could then quickly redial 
my ppp .. as it is .. I am down till I find the failure .. kill ppp,
power off the modem (faster than ppp .. term .. +++ ath0), re-init
ppp ... 

I have NO clue how to do a direct few instructions to the modem either
within ppp or with any other tty writer embedded 2.0.5 .. 

ANY / ALL Help or ideas welcome .. 

ALSO .. any help on how to migrate 2.0.5_disks to 2.1.6 or to BSDI_3.0
welcomed .. 

Thanks /Ev/
