I keep getting these; my log files shows the following: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 local IP address 209.117.51.112 remote IP address 209.117.123.122 Hangup (SIGHUP) Modem hangup Connection terminated. Connect time 0.9 minutes. Sent 1905 bytes, received 2574 bytes. Exit. I'm intrigued by the sixth line "Hangup (SIGHUP)"; does this mean my machine has hung up, or that the remote server has ?
