What are you trying to achieve here ?  The "!" syntax allows you to 
run external programs that know how to talk stdin/stdout to your modem 
(such as chat).  Running ppp again will just result in two programs 
striving to control the same device :-/

Also, you probably should upgrade to the version on 
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian.  AFAIR, the select() problem you 
mentioned was caused by a long-since-fixed bug in libalias.
