I have installed dialin support for PPP (using the kernel pppd) and it 
seems to be working well but it does not reset after a call.  The phone 
line goes back to a carrier and the AA light stays on but on the next call 
the phone just rings.  I have a Motorola Surfer modem and am using FreeBSD 
 2.1R and the startup scripts listed in the Handbook (except I use ttyd1). 
 It does not appear to run the script I have defined in options with the 
disconnect command.

TIA
