Once in a while my modem will just hang up in the middle of a PPP 
session. Line noise or some such, I assume. Usually I can hear the 
click of the hangup, and know that I'm dead in the water.

However, I've noticed that even though the modem is no longer connected,
pppd thinks otherwise. Thus, the ip-down script does not run, and
'ifconfig' shows the block of PPP lines.

How can I get a warning when the modem hangs up? Win95's DUN can do it, 
so there must be a way in Linux. I run pppd from a text console.
