Well... I did something I probably shouldn't have, but it surely did the
trick. I inserted killall pppd into my ifdown script. I had been running
along nicely from 2.0 to now with ppp, and this bugged me. So I killed it
:) Others have mentioned the persist option, but I thought that was only to
keep it reconnecting when you yourself had not downed the interface. I
still want that behavior. When I have more time, I'm going to chase down
the error in the ifup/ifdown scripts that must be there somewhere. Hope
this helps.
