\I've got a RH9 box set up as gateway here in my office. It uses a dial up
connection and we use that line for local calls as well so when someone
needs to make a call - from my ssh I
sudo /sbin/ifdown ppp0
and when the call's done I
sudo /sbin/ifup ppp0
Sometimes though the phone gets dialed out by the computer, even with
ifdown and the only way I can straighten it out is to unplug the line from
the modem and start over. This just happened now and here's what is on
/var/log/messages (no ppp log)

some advice on tracing the cause.
Thanks in advance,
