>Description:

iijppp may hang indefinitely without a chance for the operator to
get rid of it:

o  it refuses to co-operate with a job control shell (it catches
   sigtstp), so it cannot be brought into background when needed

o  it doesn't allow to interrupt it by ^C

o  when in terminal mode, one cannot go back if the modem or other
   end of connection dropped DTR, since the ppp process sleeps on
   ttyin (apparently on the outgoing line, not the controlling tty)

In all of the above situations, the only chance is to have another
terminal/window/whatever handy to clean up.

>How-To-Repeat:

Start iijppp.  Try ^Z.  Try ^C.  Run the `term' subcommand on a
non-existing modem.

>Fix:

Atsushi (sp?) has been implementing my suggestion to care for ^Z, so this 
can be closed.
