The reason I had an stty line in the script was because I thought it was
necessary because it was in the sample script.  I was thinking it was
ppp-in-a-box.  I didn't know that pppd took care of everything on the
serial port.  Why was there an stty line in the sample script?  Also, in
ppp-up, what's the umask 077 line supposed to do?

No, I have it in my options file.  Double-checked that many times.  I still
can't pppd to stop sending when the FC light goes low.

Sorry about that.  I didn't read closely enough.

Thanks for the help,
