last i knew, when pptpctrl was killed, it closed the gre tty and pppd
noticed that and quit.. i'm not sure exactly how long it took, for pppd to
notice, but i dont imagine it would take more than a few seconds at worst.

I know they redid the GRE stuff in 1.1.1.. you might try 1.0? (1.1.1 is sort
of a hackers release)
