I'm using the same 10yr-old ppp-script as for my dial-up modem
on this wireless-modem [by: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem]

And it used to <cut off ppp> when I disconnected the USB to the
wireless-modem; as I wanted.

Something happened [when I had a crash and changes to my old
distro].  Now ppp won't die; nor by `kill -9 <ppp-pid>`.

And pppd won't reconnect without a re-boot.

Apparently pppd wants to be able to REpeatedly go on-line 
automatically once it's started. 

How can I get the previous/old control, that ppd went off-line
when I disconnected, but was able to go back on-line when
I re-connected and called the script?

== TIA.
