   Bob,
 
   next time this happends, please check the following things:
 
 1) Does restart ppp(8) helps? To check this you will need to:
 
    /etc/rc.d/ppp-user stop
    [check that no ppp process is present]
    /etc/rc.d/ppp-user start
 
 If no success on 1), follow to 2):
 
 2) Does restart of ppp(8) + renewal of tun(4) interface help?
 
    /etc/rc.d/ppp-user stop
    [check that no ppp process is present]
    ifconfig tun0 destroy
    [check that tun0 interfaces disappeared]
    /etc/rc.d/ppp-user start
 
 2) Does restart of ppp(8) + renewal of tun(4) + renewal of netgraph
    PPPoE node helps?
 
    /etc/rc.d/ppp-user stop
    [check that no ppp process is present]
    ifconfig tun0 destroy
    [check that tun0 interfaces disappeared]
    ngctl shutdown fxp0:orphans   [assuming you run PPPoE on fxp0]
    [check that no PPPoE nodes remained, 'ngctl types | grep pppoe' must
     display 0]
