Probably the easiest thing to do is pidof kppp or pppd, then kill -9 the
process ID. Thats it. Or use a different dialer prog. Try EZPPP, its always
worked well for me.

Reply-To: discuss at ntlug.org

This is Dennis in Waco and I am still having problems with the modem not
hanging up when I disconnect from the dialup connection.  I am
connecting with kppp in Redhat 6.0.  I have tried the killall pppd
command.  It does not work.  I have tried /sbin/ifdown ppp0 command.  It
did work but does not now and asks for a device.  Should I try
/sbin/ifdown ppp0 /dev/modem?  There has to be an easier way to
disconnect than shutting down and rebooting each time I want off the
Internet.  Thanks again for all your assistance.

Dennis,

I'm the one that suggested the killall pppd.  When you run this command 
does it return any error messages?

If the name of your ppp daemon is really kppp you may need to do
killall kppp or kpppd. Also, you may need to use kill -9 "process-id".

You *should* be able to determine which daemon you are using via:
ps waux | grep ppp
Once you do this, try either killall "process-name" or kill -9
"process-id"

George
