Can you point me to a paragraph in the FAQ or other reference to the problems you alluded to in 2.2.5? I just brought up a ppp server whose ppp session won't die if the user at the client machine kills (i.e., via kill -9) *his* end of the session. Once this has happened, further attempts to dial in fail (the modem never answers) and the ppp process must be manually killed. However, if the idle timeout expires and the connection shuts down that way, the next dial works just fine. In this case, I'm not sure whether the ppp process itself shuts down or not. I'm sure another piece you'll need to know is that I am using mgetty, with the setup instructions essentially copied from the online (at freebsd.org) manual. I've looked in what seemed to be the obvious places (FAQ's, Manual, Man pages) and haven't seen reference to this problem.
