Thanks for your reply. Now I retried ZapRAS and, when not in panic, it 
only required an restart of Asterisk to recover the sound.
But the pppd process was gone and nothing was taking more than 0.2% CPU.
Seems like ZapRAS destroy something within Asterisk then?
Regarding ZapRAS, I don't even get it to work at all. More on that later.
How are your ZapRAS configured? Do you connect to an ISP through it?
I've tried the new app_pppd as well, and that one connects. But the 
connetion dies within a few second (just stop responding/working). See 
my other earlier posts about that.
I've gone through Digiums website more than once to get this to work, 
but there seems to be only a README-file in the ftp area for information.
Which page did you mean?
I've been trying for month to get this working. And alot of questions 
have been posted to the mailing list from me. Even the IRC channels has 
been visited.
But no one seems to have this problem, or are even using the 
ZapRAS/app_pppd.
I request any tips regarding ISDN dialup Internet access.
Thanks!
