Hi,
  I configured pppd to use LCP echo packets to check is the line still alive, but
_sometimes_ pppd does'nt exit after such condition.
  Moreover, after logging line 'Excessive lack of response to LCP echo frames'
pppd does not exit after -INT or -TERM signals. Only -KILL helps.

pppd version is 2.1.2 running on FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE.

  User .ppprc:
modem
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 3

Piece of log:
...
