Who else do we screw up in the other case?

Or ipppd or pppd, or even manually operated non-dial-on-demand
PPP connections with dynamic addresses. In all those cases you
have the problem that the app hangs and isn't told that the
socket is dead. Which it is.

I'm sorry to hear that, especially since you were the
one that put it in 2.0. Let me make a prediction that
if no better solution appears, the hack will be in SuSE's
version of 2.2. I have no connection with SuSE, but they
have a lot of ISDN customers, and something like this is
very important to them.
