It means a PPP session for that interface (ppp1) was somehow disconnected 
or lost.  This kind of thing happens on our system when the user is
disconnected, but for some reason the modem doesn't know it!

We have to kill the process associated with the user who had that interface
in order to get rid of those warnings.
