    Kernel ppp is the old way which is no longer maintained. User ppp is
    the rewritten replacement for kernel ppp and is the one used by
    everyone these days. Kernel ppp is a dead horse, forget all about
    it.

    To end user ppp session use console command killall ppp

    Hi guys,
    I have a few questions.
    What are the specific advantages of using a kernel PPP
    over user PPP?

    I use the command ppp -ddial papchap. This, I am told,
    establishes a "stable" connection (i.e reconections
    are handled automatically). How do I hang up? Just
    switch the modem off? (of course I commented the line
    "set timeout 3000" in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.)

    Thanks
    keshav
