I'm not happy with some of the replies to my query.
I asked:
1. why don't ISPs feedback an engaged signal when they're
congested, to save their clients, telco connect-costs ?
2. should [and how] I do ppp-down equivalent, to avoid
the ISP not logging me in again, soon after I've logged out?
killall -HUP pppd seems to have improved matters. Thanks.
And interestingly, since a fraction of a second after
it's executed, I can hear that the remote modem
goes on-hook.
So that confirms that the signal sent by me, gets detected
beyound the remote modem, and causes a signal to be fed
back to put the modem on-hook.
Therefore there would be no problem to get a signal,
to give the client 'engaged', when the ISP's system is
congested. To not do so is stupid and very annoying.

OK, it shows more than:
tail -f /var/log/messages
But why should my box send the wrong username and password
depending on the time of day, week, month, year, weather, TV prog ?
You too can make an intelligent estimate of your road-traffic,
based on the relevant environmental parameters ?
Thanks for input.
