Yes, this is what I'm looking for.  I'm sorry, maybe I should have
stated this more clearly in my original message.

(The isdn4linux package has `isdnctrl hangup ippp0' for this.)

I don't think I need this.

Well, my original message contained the following:

| up, but surely I'm not supposed to do "ifconfig isp0 down; ifconfig
| isp0 up" for hanging up the phone with dial-on-demand?

Does this mean the answer to that last question is: `Yes, that's
exactly what you should do.'?  Okay.  I'm surprised but that's okay.

So, for hanging up the phone I'll do `ifconfig isp0 down; ifconfig
isp0 up'.  The latter is needed so that subsequent dial-on-demand
attempts will work.
