Hi, This bug does appear to exist. I've just spent a lot of time trying to fix some scripts that weren't broken because of this.
My findings that might be useful: The pppd command with 'updetach' worked fine when executed from the command line. It failed when executed from within a perl script, perl was executing it directly with no shell in between. The pppd would connect and then immediately hang up as described in the original bug report. I have rolled back to ppp 2.4.4rel-10.1 from Lenny or now, since the updetach function works correctly in this version. No fancy phones in use here. This was dial-up between two Debian machines using serial modems. A number of different modems were tried with identical results.
