Misc PPP questions

[fbsd_user]

Kernel ppp is the old way which is no longer maintained. User ppp is
the rewritten replacement for kernel ppp and is the one used by
everyone these days.  Kernel ppp is a dead horse, forget all about
it.

To end user ppp session use console command  killall ppp

Hi guys,
I have a few questions.
What are the specific advantages of using a kernel PPP
over user PPP?

I use the command ppp -ddial papchap. This, I am told,
establishes a "stable" connection (i.e reconections
are handled automatically). How do I hang up? Just
switch the modem off? (of course I commented the line
"set timeout 3000" in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.)

Thanks
keshav
