 The problem seems to happen because modem_run has one
 of the modem's endpoints open while pppoa2 is setting
 an alternate interface.
 
 I don't have a fix, but a workaround that might work
 for you:
 
 Don't let pppoa2 set an alternate interface (this was
 the default behavior of older versions of pppoa2 anyway).
 
 You can do this by setting the pppoa2 '-e' switch to -1.
 
 Example ppp.conf:
 set device !"/usr/local/sbin/pppoa2 -e -1 -vpi 8 -vci 48 -v 1"
